A clever little bit of kit for people who react badly to bites.
Heat It says:
Heat it pro USB-C is a medical device that relieves itching and pain from insect bites (e.g. mosquitoes, horseflies, bees and wasps) using concentrated heat — powered directly by your smartphone. Its robust metal twist cap protects the device, and the BiteLight feature makes treatment easy even in the dark. Compatible with iPhone 15 and newer as well as Android smartphones with USB-C. Includes a Nite Ize stainless steel carabiner.
Our Verdict
The Heat It Pro USB-C Insect Bite Healer is tiny at 10g, but the controlled heat treatment feels far more effective than most creams once the itching starts. You plug it into your phone’s USB-C port, open the app, then place the heated ceramic contact point onto the bite for a few seconds. The controlled heat is designed to reduce the itching response rather than just numb it temporarily.
I like that the Pro version adds the BiteLight and tougher metal cap, which makes it feel less like a fragile gadget hanging from a keyring or pack.
