MosQuit® - THE INSECT BITE HEALER
Medical explanation of how your insect bite healer works
While biting, insects inject an albuminous secretion into the puncture. It prevents the clotting of blood and activates the endogenous defence of the human body. The body releases histamine. This antitoxin causes itching and pain. Rubbing or scratching the puncture may increase itching and can cause inflammation. Concentrated heat from a temperature of 47 °C on, can decompose the insect poison. So the results of the insect bite such as itching, swelling and the hazard of infection can be gently eliminated within a few seconds.
When to use your MosQuit® insect bite healer
Your MosQuit® insect bite healer can successfully prevent or considerably alleviate itching, swelling and the hazard of infection as a result of midge, mosquito and horsefly bites in up to 95 % of the cases.
