After Bite, Pharmacist Preferred Insect Bite Treatment, 0.5-ounce (4 pack), Multi (0006-1030)

Helps take the itch away after mosquito bites. I used to scratch my skin, sometimes to the point of accidentally breaking the skin. Now I rub this over the welts and the relief is immediate, taking my mind off the itching.

I first used this during a trip to Mt. Lassen National Park in early spring, when the mosquitoes were out in force and they nearly sucked me dry. I thought that I would be safe with wool long underwear and double-layered hiking pants. I was mistaken. Those little suckers drilled right through and I was covered by dozens, if not hundreds, of bites. I itched like crazy even after washing and treating the bites first with alcohol and then with witch hazel. I then used After Bite and the itchiness went away as if by magic. Truly amazing stuff. I understand that the active ingredient is just ammonia... Whatever, it worked so well I put a full tube of this stuff in every first aid kit and emergency kit I have.The tube is about the diameter of a lib balm and about 1.5 times as long. Unscrew the cap and there is an applicator pad that looks a little like a big white eraser. Just rub that on the bite and presto! No more itch. I believe you can apply as needed, but I only needed one application per bite. I haven't used a full tube yet, but it seems like it would last a good long while; you can hear the liquid inside if you shake it and the applicator allows only a small amount to cover your bite as you rub it on.If you are ever out in the woods and even remotely likely to be bitten or stung by an insect, have one of these with you. I now consider this an essential addition to my camping and first aid kit. Five stars-plus!

Quick shipping, fine packaging and the product really works. We have lots of mosquito's where I live - large backyard with many, many flowers and stray cats which help "fertilize the soil." Going outside during mosquito season for 5 minutes can result in 5 bites, many multiple hits. Mosquitos love me intensely.The key to best use of "After Bite" is to apply it as soon as possible after the winged Dracula attack. In application, what I do for best results is to coat the area with the ammonia bicarbonate solution and continue for 2-3 minutes pressing the soft application tip directly on the center of the bite. This continued pressure on the center of the bite site - I believe - does a better job getting the After Bite solution through the skin and into the inflamed area. The bite often just goes away. In some cases the inflammation will re-appear from several hours to a day later with lessened intensity. Re-apply the After Bite. I also believe that there may be an actual chemical reaction between the After Bite ammonia bicarbonate solution and the blood thinner chemical that the mosquito injects into the skin to more easily suck out the blood.

I bought a 4-pack of these and brought it with me on a trip to Vietnam. If you guys know anything about SE Asia, the mosquitoes there will carry you away and eat you alive! Just remember these are NOT REPELLENT! They are called After-Bite for a reason. We always carry OFF! Repellent when we are in Vietnam, but sometime the suckers just know where to get you! This is where After Bite comes to the rescue! Just a little dap with do. These have a very bad odor, so don't be sniffing it. In fact, the odor is so strong it will make your eyes water! Also do not let kids play around because they are poisonous! Just dapp some on your kids, watch them as this drys. Sounds scary, but it comes in handy when you get attack! I hand these out to my friends, and they love them. I get request for more overseas.

After Bite has changed my life! Mosquitoes LOVE me. They feast on me like it’s Thanksgiving and I have bad reactions to bites where they swell up in these huge ugly blisters and the itching lasts for a whole week! Because of After Bite, I’m not as afraid to go outside in the evenings. I buy these things in a ready supply and keep one everywhere, including my purse. I apply as soon as I feel that I’ve been bitten and reapply every time I feel itchy. Within a few hours, the bites no longer itch! Thank God for this stuff!!! 😍😍😍

The price of this is very good; I usually pay at least $5 for ONE. I keep one of these in my purse at all times, especially in the summer, and I cannot tell you how many times I have used it for myself or others. It is a great product and it works! I was at an outside fair a few years ago and a 3 year old got stung by a bee so I ran over with my After Bite and gave it to the mother who couldn't thank me enough. Great to have with you everywhere; parks, beach, any outdoor (or indoor) event, jogging, cycling, just everywhere.

Works OK but it seems on years past the relief was quicker and lasted longer.

After Bite is a great product to have around the house and in my first Aid Kit, I have used it for man years. It does have a ammonia scent but it works fast at dulling the sting or bite and helps bring the swelling down. This product was a 4 pack special and is a great value for the money, I'm glad Amazon.com makes this product available, sometimes a have a hard time finding this particular roll on tube in the supermarket, I'm very happy with my purchase and I will buy it again.
