I picked up one of these Bug Bite Thing in theory sucks the mosquito saliva out of the bit location. Both my son and I have tried it and it appears to work pretty well.

Anyone else try these out yet?

My wife has these. I have never tried it but she swears it works!

Mosquito bites rarely make me itch...I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. Now, if someone could create a way to cancel out their buzzing noise, I would be a happy camper!

Thanks for posting. I have wondered if these work. Does it take all the itch away? Or, does it just make it a little better?

Looks like a take-off on the Sawyer Extractor which we used successfully on a trip mate who is allergic to bee stings. We were able to extract amber colored liquid from his multiple stings after he disturbed a nest site in a rotting log (Yellowjackets ?.) It was fortunate it worked since we were in Canada and not near a lake where a bush plane could get in to extract him and the nearest hospital was in Thunder Bay, probably 160-170 miles away.
