Electric Itch Zapper Really Works FARM HOME Health 33-4-32 "I didn't believe it until I tried it, " says Jim Ruen, FARM SHOW contributing editor about the electronic Itch Soother he recently tested. "Most of the itch went away quickly. Some of the worst bites took a second application."
The battery-powered Itch Soother is about the size of a fat cigar. A small red button on one end activates the "hot plate" at the other end. Press the heating element against a bite and wait to feel the heat. A small yellow LED light comes on when the button is pushed. When the target temperature is reached, a green light comes on.
Here's why the device works. When bugs bite they inject saliva into the skin. The body reacts to the saliva with a release of histamine. It's this allergic reaction that actually causes itching and swelling, which won't stop until the saliva proteins break down. The heat from the Itch Soother speeds the protein breakdown process.
The Itch Soother has a suggested retail price of $19.95 but is available at various stores and websites for as little as $11.99 (amazon.com).
