Are you a human on this planet? Then you’ve been bitten by a bug at some point in your life.

Obviously bug bites or stings are a VERY common problem we all share, and when we get bit the vast majority of us turn to creams and ointments that treat the symptoms, not the cause.

Well, now there’s a product that literally gets to the heart of why you itch and scratch so much after you get bit/stung.

The Bug Bite Thing was created by Florida mom, Kelley Higney (pictured right), who wanted to find a better, drug-free way to help her kids with the bug bites they were always suffering from.

The way it works in deceptively simple: by suction.

See, when you get bit, the insects saliva or venom gets under your skin. This causes a reaction with your skin and a red, itchy welt is the result.

That’s where the Bug Bite Thing springs into action. You just place it over your skin, pull up on the plunger and let the natural suction do its work.
