The Emerson Healthcare Beurer BR 10 Sting and Bite Relief device offers a chemical and drug-free solution for alleviating the discomfort of insect bites and stings. Utilizing a quick-warming ceramic hot plate, this battery-operated device works by dissolving insect venom, saliva, and other irritants left under the skin. By neutralizing these irritants, the bodys natural reaction of itching and swelling is halted. Its compact and lightweight design, complete with a hook, allows for easy portability, attaching conveniently to purses, belt loops, key chains, or backpacks. The device requires two AAA batteries to operate.
