Insect Bite Relief Pen
Insect Bite Relief Pen Dual-Zone Heat Therapy & Chemical-Free
A practical, science-driven way to calm bites and stings. No creams, no gels, no chemical residues. This compact relief pen uses controlled heat to interrupt the body’s itch response, making it ideal for caravanning, camping or any trip into the bush.
Science-based heat therapy
Localized heat disrupts the itch–pain signaling pathway and reduces the histamine response triggered by insect saliva or venom.
Chemical-free and non-toxic
No antihistamines, no lotions; suitable for sensitive skin and children (with supervision).
Dual-zone relief for bites and stings
Works across a broad range of insects including mosquitoes, ants, bees, midges, spiders and bed-bugs.

Compact design
- Fits easily in a first-aid kit, glove box or caravan drawer.
How It Works
- When an insect bites or stings, the body releases histamine, which drives swelling and itchiness.
- Sensory nerves in the skin also fire rapidly, creating the itch–pain cycle.
- Applying controlled heat (usually between 40–51 °C) to a very small area has two effects:
- Temporarily interrupts nerve signaling, reducing the itch sensation.
- Can moderate the histamine response, helping the swelling settle more quickly.
- The pen’s heated contact plate delivers this targeted heat for a short, safe interval to calm the reaction.
