If you enjoy spending time outdoors with the family, this bite away® giveaway is definitely one for you!
The summer months are usually the peak time of year for outdoor adventures. Unfortunately that can mean we’re more exposed to biting and stinging insects. We’ve certainly had our fair share of bites and stings on family days out, and from experience I know that being able to deal with them quickly and easily can make a big difference to how much fun the rest of the trip is. bite away® is a great way to do this.

What is bite away®?
bite away® is a chemical-free device for the symptomatic treatment of itching, pain and swelling caused by insect bites and stings. You can use it to treat bites and stings from mosquitoes, wasps, bees, hornets, horseflies and other biting insects. It looks a bit like a digital thermometer, and is designed to be held in the hand.
How does bite away® work?
bite away® uses heat technology to treat bites and stings. The device has a small ceramic contact area which heats up, this is applied to the affected area of skin where it provides a brief, concentrated application of heat. This heat application has been clinically proven to relieve itching, pain and swelling caused by insect bites and stings in just 2 minutes.

The pen-style device is simple to use. There are two buttons which offer different lengths of treatment time: 3 seconds for the initial treatment and more sensitive skin (I think this is a good option for kids), and 6 seconds for regular application. When either button is pressed, the ceramic contact area heats up to approximately 51°C. An LED light lets you know when this has been reached, and the device switches itself off after the selected duration of application. You also hear a beep at the start and end of the treatment, so it’s easy to understand when to take it off the skin.

What I like about bite away®
bite away® is so quick and easy to use. This is brilliant for when you’re dealing with wriggly children! I’ve used it on both time settings, and there’s a brief warm sensation while the heat treatment takes place. Depending on sensitivity, this might be mildly uncomfortable, but in my experience it’s a pretty much painless experience – another big tick for treating kids.
For me, a big advantage of bite away® is the fact that you can effectively treat insect bites and stings without using chemical products. Our youngest has quite sensitive skin that tends to react, so it’s fantastic that we can now avoid using bite and sting cream. It’s also ideal for kids that don’t cope well with greasy creams.

I also really like the fact that bite away® is so portable. It’s battery-powered, so you can just pop it in your bag when you go out, and it takes up very little space.
Another big plus is the fact that bite away® is a one-time purchase – unlike creams and patches that run out and pass their sell-by date. You can use it over and over again, and the batteries are standard AA so they’re inexpensive to replace. I think it’s a great addition to your first aid kit, and perfect for taking with you on family days out. Which feature of bite away® would be most useful for you?

The treatment of bites without chemicals is definitely something that appeals to me xx

I would really appreciate the easing of the pain part of the sting. Bee stings feel like a red hot poker has burnt your skin and is left there to keep burning it.
I think the most useful thing for me would be that there is no anti histamine ‘medicine’ involved. Leo’s mouth clamps shut if we approach him with a medicine spoon.
I love the idea of the ease of it and the fact it’s chemical free. I’m always being bitten so this would come in handy!
That its fast relief
That it acts fast and brings relief quickly

the fast pain relief–great for kids
The relief from itching would be the most useful feature for me as i can’t resist scratching and on my sensitive skin every scratch does a lot of damage
My favourite feature is that it’s portable. My eldest son always ends up getting bitten or stung by something.
I hate getting insect bites. I always seem to get bitten and I have tried all sorts like incense sticks, plug ins, even garlic tablets! Would love to see if this is the answer to my pesky pest problems!
I love that it relieves itching, pain and swelling caused by insect bites and stings in just 2 minutes.
The fact that it is fast acting is important for us!
That it stops iching quickly.
I like that it is a one-time purchase. You just need to renew the batteries. Easy to carry about with you s well.
My husband gets bitten every year really badly. He scratches the bites, the skin breaks, bacteria gets in, his legs swell up and we end up at A & E for treatment every year!
The fact that this device relieves itching would be a Godsend and save the NHS a lot of time and money on our behalf!
Fast-acting rekief would be ideal when playing golf. I’m always getting nibbled at!
The fact that it is suitable for children is really good
Fast relief is the most important thing for me as I suffer really badly when I get bites. I also love that it’s chemical-free.
The best part is that it’s suitable for children
This would be carried everywhere and to every picnic.
I like that it’s compact, non-messy and fast acting
I seem to be a magnet for mozzies and bites often get infected so anything that stops the itching and swelling would be fantastic!
I like that it’s re-useable and, if it really is that good, would become a permanent piece of my portable first-aid lit.
I am forever contaminating the environment with rarely-used medicinal products that have passed their sell-by date so I like the fact that this is a one-time purchase with standard AA batteries that can be interchanged with other devices.
I’m forever getting eaten by horseflies … regardless of what I use! The pain and itching is insane… and swelling is unreal too… I think I just have a bad reaction to them! I love the fact this is safe to use for all the family and so much better for the environment too. We would definitely put it through it’s paces x
Love that its so easy to use and doesn’t use chemicals
great thing to have around the house
Great portable device so easily fits into bags, or pockets.
this would be fantastic i have just brought some spray and bands for my daughter because she was literally eaten alive the other night and has a bad reaction to bites one was near her ankle and it affected the ankle and swelled up , she has antihistamine cream and liquid
I like that it’s suitable for Children and works fast
I like that it is a one-time purchase and good for sensitive skin
It’s great that it is suitable for the whole family to use. I’d particularly like my partner to use it. He always seems to get bad reactions to bites. When we are on holiday, he drinks gin and tonic which seems to keep the mosquitoes away. He uses this as a perfect excuse to start drinking early in the day. This little device would spoil his fun!
Ideal for kids
that it is suitable for children is no1 for me
The fact that can be used on children
I love that it works fast especially for children. I could have done with this last week. I got stung by a wasp in my daughter’s garden. It was hurting for ages
Great that this starts working quickly
