If you mean Bite-Away, then yes. I bought mine with leftover FSA funds and as far as I can tell it works, placebo effect or not.

I got the much smaller usb-c keyring Heat-It, and works so great . Previous submission, https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/12/usb-c-cures-mosquito-bites/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41548336

There was a study recently on it, which feels fairly encouraging. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3257884/

The real winner this year was the $30 (rainbow, because it's cool) mosquito net. It's been shockingly hard setting it up really well, some still get through, but I can sit outside all day & break out the electric swatter two or three times & be fine. And I keep tuning the net a little... (I used to lug a bunch of fans in and out of the house, to keep them off me, but that was only semi-successful & made it a project each time.)


I have a basic mosquito net above my bed and it is miraculous (I got the first one this year). What is particularly interesting is that I am not bothered by mosquito buzzing even when they fly close because somehow my brain knows that they cannot bite me


I used to just run a spoon under very hot water and then hold it against the bite at the hottest I could tolerate and works pretty well, albeit not very temperature accurate.


A suitably hot shower works well too.


Clever - going to steal this.
