ITCH-ZAPPER BUGS BUG BITES
CARLSBAD, Calif. (Wireless Flash) First, there were bug zappers to kill bugs now theres a zapper to kill the sting of a bug bite. The so-called ItchZapper is a high-tech gizmo that reportedly eliminates itching caused by mosquito bites, flea bites or gnat bites. The battery-operated gadget resembles a computer mouse and stops itching by zapping the bite with 122 degrees of heat which supposedly breaks down itch-causing proteins under the skin. A spokesman admits the initial zap of heat can burn a little, but says the swelling and itching subsides soon afterward. The $29.95 ItchZapper will be available for sale in two weeks at Itchzapper.com.
