After Bite Treatment

Store Top | First Aid Kits | After Bite Treatment

After bite treatment falls into three main categories:

- medical devices for removing any poison that has has been injected, such as Ben's Insect Poison Extractor and the Aspivenin

- medications that are active against whatever has been injected during the bite or sting, such as the ammonia in After Bite

- creams and lotions that help ease the symptoms and relieve itching, etc, such as Ben's bite-ezer Cream

Generally, the well prepared traveller will go equipped with all three, and their timely application would help to ensure that the occasional bite or sting doesn't become something far more serious or debilitating.

Poison Extractors and Tick Removers

Aspivenin Poison Extractor

The Aspivenin vacuum action poison extractor has been proven to be effective in the most hostile of environments. With over 4 million in use worldwide, Aspivenin lets you approach the great outdoors with new confidence.

The patented Aspivenin pump will painlessly draw out the poison that is injected under the skin by many insects, snakes and venomous sea creatures. In serious cases it is said to be 10 times more effective and much safer than the oral (buccal) method. It is also reasuring to know that it can be used much closer to home as well to ease the irritation and/or allergic reaction caused by biting and stinging insects both quickly and effectively.

The Aspivenin is effective against:

- Wasps - Bees - Horseflies - Sand Flies - Hornets - Biting Ants - Mosquitoes
- Spiders - Scorpians - Snakes - Venomous Fish - Jelly Fish - Stinging Plants

To use, simply pull out the plunger to prepare the device, and then as you push it in a continuous vacuum is created in the suction cup over the wound site which gently draws out the poison from the bite or sting. It only takes about 20 to 30 seconds in the case of a mosquito bite, 90 seconds for wasp stings and up to 3 minutes for more serious attacks.

The Aspivenin is supplied with instructions for use in a lightweight waterproof case which contains both the precision made vacuum pump and four suction cups, varying in size from small to large for different applications.

Trix Tick Lasso - Tick Remover

Ticks are spider-like insects that attach themselves with their mouth parts to the skin of a host and then feed themselves with its blood. Not very pleasant, and finding them firmly attached to you can be quite upsetting, particularly if you're not quite sure how to deal with them! They have become increasingly common in Northern Europe, and to make matters even worse a tick bite could lead to infection with Lyme's disease if the tick isn't carefully removed within 24 hours.

The Trix Tick Lasso tick remover makes removal quick and easy - simply extend the lasso, place it over the tick, let go of the button and then twist and lift away to remove the tick. Suitable for use with children and pets, and the length of the device makes it easy to use in ears, thick fur or hair and other difficult places.

Care Plus Tick Out - Tick Tweezers

The Care Plus Tick Out Tick Tweezers are similar to the Trix Tick Lasso, although the tick is removed in a slightly different way. Instead of a lasso the Tick Out Tick Tweezers utilise a set of pincers.

The pincer jaws are opened by pressing a button on the end of the device, and then closed by releasing the button after placing the base of the tick within the mouth of the jaws. The jaws are shaped to grip the tick tightly, allowing it to be removed with minimal risk of damage to the tick.

The Care Plus Tick Out Tick Tweezers are supplied with full instructions for use and two alcohol swabs for disinfecting the site of the bite after the tick has been removed.

Active Intervention to Treat and Protect

After Bite Ammonia Treatment

After Bite is America's leading insect bite and sting treatment. It's effective against a wide variety of bites and stings from mosquitoes, bugs, bees, wasps, jelly fish and nettles, etc.

After Bite contains ammonia to stop the itching and swelling, and mink oil to soothe and heal. It comes in a vial that is both convenient to carry and easy to use.

Simply rub the pen-like applicator on the affected skin and relax as the itching and swelling disappear - in America they call it the 'Itch Eraser'!

After Bite is a licenced medicine with a proven therapeutic effect and it is different from many similar products because it doesn't contain alcohol which can irriitate the skin after repeated use. In contrast, After Bite can usually be applied frequently without irritation because of the skin soothing properties of the mink oil and it can be used on most people over the age of two.

Supplied in a 14ml vial.
