Lifesystems Mini Bite Click Relief

The Lifesystems Mini Bite Click Relief is a pocket-sized piezoelectric device that treats insect bites and stings without any cream, spray or chemical ingredient. Pressed onto the bite and clicked 5 to 10 times, it delivers a small heat/electric pulse intended to interrupt the itch and irritation response - the same principle used by several similar clicker devices on the market. At just 5 g it's one of the lightest first-aid items you can carry, and Lifesystems rates it for over 5,000 uses, so one unit should easily outlast a season or several trips. Because it works mechanically rather than chemically, there's nothing to run out, leak or expire in your pack, and no risk of an allergic reaction to an active ingredient - a real advantage for anyone with sensitive skin or who prefers to avoid topical medication. It won't help with serious reactions or venomous stings that need proper treatment, but for the ordinary mosquito or midge bite on a multi-day hike, it's a near-weightless backup worth keeping in the first aid pouch.
