Recommended German Patented Brand “Bite Away”

Since I was young, I have often suffered from severe mosquito stings. Probably my blood was mosquitos’ favorite.

What’s worse, not only mosquito bit, but also fleas and unknown bad bugs suck my blood. It turned out that whenever I am out with family, friends or Mr. Hahn in the city or in nature, I am always the one and only bugs’ attractor. Mosquitoes always swarm over me, and within minutes I will be left with red and swollen bites all over my body. Others, by contrast, are perfectly fine, smiley and comfortable.

So I sometimes wondered if anyone died from “itching”.

Do you think I am kidding?

Itching sends me to the limbo! It stops my normal mind activities, the only thing I imagine to do is to cut my hands or legs off.

Dermatologist’s diagnosis concluded that it was caused by my constitution. My skin is more sensitive than others. Histamine, which is produced after catching a mosquito bite, can easily cause pigmentation. As a result, my legs are often covered with ugly red spots, or pink bumps, large and small. I have to visit my dermatologist regularly for laser scar removal.

Of course, in order to protect myself, whenever I go outdoors in summer, I will wear long-sleeved clothes and trousers of silk and linen. Meanwhile, I keep trying to find the antipruritic ointment that worked for me. The Mentholatum cream, wind medicated oil, etc. available in the pharmacy have no effect on me. After reading lots of web articles, I find that all the ointments mentioned above contain some volatile elements, such as mint, camphor, which can bring coolness to the area where the ointment is applied, relatively relieving the itchy symptoms. Therefore, some people may find it effective after use, but the density and intensity of itching I have experienced may require a special steroid cream prescribed by a doctor to relieve it quickly. However, long-term application of this cream may cause palpitations or blurred vision in addition to atrophy and thinning of the skin where drugs are used.

One day, my partner Mr. Hahn pitied me and bought a machine named Bite Away.

I had never seen this product before. This white, pen-like “heating pen” was made in Germany and patented for medical use. Just press the tip of the pen against and heat the new mosquito stings for 6 seconds, the itchiness will gradually disappear, which reduces the possibility of scratches and the likelihood of scarring. The heat comes out from Bite Away damages the proteins in mosquito toxins, thus dissolving the toxins and reducing allergy.

This is my real savior!

It’s light, safe and chemical free. I always carry it when I go out nowadays. The test results of Bite Away on Stiftung Warentest, an authoritative testing website (www.test.de) in Germany are excellent. (Test results of many daily necessities are available on this website.)

Therefore, I have gotten rid of steroid ointment. Instead, Mr. Hahn reminds me now to bring No.2 battery, otherwise my Bite Away will be powered off very soon.

Here, I sincerely recommend Bite Away to all of you who didn’t have a strong mind to conquer the overwhelming itching.

推薦德國專利Bite Away

從小每到夏天，我的身體皮膚經常癢得受不了。

大概我的血是蚊蟲的最愛。

慘的是，出門在外不是只有蚊子叮，還有跳蚤及不知名的壞蟲都會吸我的血。事實證明，不管是跟家人、朋友，或是跟Mr. Hahn出去，不論是在城市裡或是大自然中，我就像他們的吸蚊燈、蚊蟲總是一窩蜂撲到我身上來，然後數分鐘之內就會全身被咬得紅腫難耐。對比之下，其他人完全沒事、怡然自得。

所以我有時候不禁會想，有沒有一種死法是「癢死」的？

你以為我在開玩笑嗎？

癢到不行的時候，心智活動錯亂，只想斷手斷腳。

皮膚科醫生的診斷是體質原因，我的皮膚比別人敏感，抓了蚊蟲叮咬處以後產生的「組織胺」很容易造成色素沈澱。結果就是我的兩條腿上經常充滿大大小小難看的紅點點，或是粉紅腫塊。我定期得到皮膚科醫生那裡做雷射除疤。

當然，為了自我保護，夏天只要到戶外，我盡量穿絲麻透氣的長袖長褲。同時，我也不停嘗試跟尋找「對我有效」的萬靈止癢藥膏。難過的是，一般藥房容易買到的曼秀雷敦乳膏、綠油精等，對我統統無效。我讀了很多網路文章發現，其實上述的這些油膏，常常是因為裡面有些揮發性的成分，如薄荷、樟腦，擦了會有涼感，癢的症狀會比較得到緩解，所以有些人可能覺得擦了有效，但是我經驗過的癢感密度與強度，可能要用到醫師特別開的類固醇藥膏才能快速緩和。但是類固醇藥膏的副作用就是長期抹藥的皮層除了萎縮變薄外，還可能出現心悸和視力模糊等。

Mr. Hahn看我可憐，在德國給我買了一支 「不怕咬(Bite Away) 」。他遞出來是，我還真是開了眼界，因為以前從沒看過這個產品。這隻白色的，造型像鋼筆般的「加熱筆」是德國製造，還獲得醫療專利。只要筆頭對著皮膚上剛被蚊蟲咬口處按壓加熱六秒，搔癢感就會漸漸消失，手比較不會忍不住去抓傷傷口，疤的產生機率就大幅降低。Bite Away的原理是，開機後維持49度到53度Ｃ中間的溫度，按壓咬口可以重點破壞蚊蟲毒素中的蛋白質，就會使毒素化掉、減少發炎。

這真是我的救星！

它既輕巧，又無安全上的顧慮。我現在天天帶著它出門，只要覺得哪裡癢的時候，就開機往皮膚上壓六秒，然後過一會兒就止癢了。這只Bite Away在德國權威的測試網站Stiftung Warentest (www.test.de)，檢測結果確實相當優異。（有很多日用品在這裡都可以查到檢評。）

所以，我目前不用依賴類固醇藥膏，感覺很好。Mr. Hahn現在轉而提醒我記得帶二號電池，不然Bite Away就會power off。

在此，真心推薦給跟我一樣，容易「紅豆冰」的所有大小朋友們。
