A chapstick size electronic device stopping mosquito bite itching and swelling.

  I have made a career of starting companies that developed technological products..  I've started several companies that developed medical devices, I've also started product development companies that developed consumer electronic products and I even started a toy company to sell a product that we developed called Klixx.

  Creating the Bite Zapper was a labor of love and necessity.  I get bitten often when mosquitoes are around and they leave itchy swelling bites that seem to last forever. Before Bite Zapper, I would scratch bites until they bled without even being aware that I was scratching, often leaving marks on my arms and legs for months.

    It took quite a while, trying different approaches to eliminating the itching and swelling associated with mosquito bites.  I first tried using ultrasonics which worked to a point but it didn't bring the swelling down and needed to be reused often on the same bite to temporarily stop the itching.

  I discovered that there are several different brands of heating devices that claim to eliminate mosquito bites but they hurt when using them and you had to leave them on the bite for a long time, along with the fact that they are quite large compared to the Bite Zapper.  There are some that use a piezo disk that seem to work for a short while and then your itching returns and it didn't do anything about the swelling. 

  So, after playing with the ultrasonic method for a while and at the same time reading about the physiological response our bodies have to mosquito bites and what the exact cause of the itching and swelling was, I came up with an idea that truly works.  It involves pulsing a voltage at the appropriate level and the appropriate frequency. It uses a relatively low voltage and very low current so it does not have to be approved by any government agency and is completely safe.  This approach shuts down your body's response to the bite (Histamine production) which quickly halts the itching and allows the swelling to disappear in a short period of time.

  I recommend using the Bite Zapper for 15 seconds on a fresh mosquito bite. If you are bitten and don't use the Bite Zapper right away (within a couple of minutes) you might have to use the Bite Zapper for a longer period.  I suggest doing 15 seconds, removing the Bite Zapper for a couple of seconds and if it still itches do another 15 seconds you may have to do it several times to eliminate the itching. 

  The Bite Zapper, with all its electronics and a rechargeable lithium battery is the size of a tube of Chapstick, pull off the switch at one end of the tube and you will find it has a built in USB connector to recharge the battery.  Just plug it into a standard USB port either on a computer, a wall adapter with USB ports, a car with USB ports or any other place you find a USB port.  Let it charge ( LED's light up the Bite Zapper alternating red and green while charging and green when it is charged) and it is good for dozens and dozens of mosquito bites on a single charge and the battery should last for years.

I hope your intrigued enough with the thought of eliminating mosquito bite itching and swelling to support our Indiegogo project and look forward to helping you eliminate mosquito bite torture.

Here is a review I received form a trial run we did.

THANK YOU!!! I took this on my recent 3 week fly-fishing adventure in Idaho and my god, I was able to keep my sanity as the bugs (and bites) were huge yet I was able to stay itch free!
