Aspivenin by Aspilabo

This is the second one of these I purchased. Got one over ten years ago and it still works, just keep it in my car for when I go out. This works best if you use it as soon as possible after the insect bites. It works by pressing the plunger down to create a vacuum, having fitted one of the nozzles first. You may have to apply it to the skin for a few minutes as the whole idea is that the vacuum will draw out the poison the insect has put into your skin. I usually then just clean off the skin and apply a small amount of Anthisan Cream, it has antihistamine and anesthetic in it so after a few minutes you don't feel the sting and it helps to stop the itch , so no scratching.

This is probably the best thing I've ever bought myself. As someone who attracts every bug, fly or insect that is partial to human blood, I am often covered in bites, which leave horrible red swollen lumps all over me. The itching drives me mad and I usually end up scarring myself from constant scratching. This little gadget is a godsend. I was about to return it as I thought it did t work, but then realised the vacuum is created by plunging down rather than sucking up!! It's amazing how this works, and you can see the liquid being drawn out from the bite. It doesn't stop the redness and leaves a round indentation but it eliminates the itching and reduces the swelling. I will be ordering a few more of these to keep in my car and in my holiday travel kit.

This gadget works a treat! We used it when travelling abroad as some members of our party had never been bitten by mosquitoes. I was initially unsure as to how effective this Aspivenin would be but am happy to say that it works a treat! My nephew gets a lot of swelling from mosquitoe bites but by using the Aspivenin right after a bite, he didn't get any of swelling or itching. Do be aware that if you use the gadget as instructed that some skin types may have a mark (which looks a bit like a hickie) that lasts for a couple of days. To me, this is better than the discomfort and itching caused by bites. Thankfully, we didn't need to use the Aspivenin for bee/wasp stings, snake bites or stone fish stings. Overall, I recommend this and think it would be something helpful for anyone who is allergic to bees/wasps (obviously use medicine prescribed by your doctor first!) as a way to reduce the amount of venom exposure.

Great product, had one for years before I lost it. Simple to use, well made with great suction. Just avoid it getting wet as this affects the vacuum that creates the suction.

This is an excellent product. I gave my old one of many years to my son for his travels and just had to purchase another one for home. I have already used it twice to suck out mosquito venom. Excellent product for taking on holiday. My son has used it for a jelly fish bite in the past. Every home should have one.

I bought this product due to travelling to Africa for work however it doesn’t suck that well. I bought a cheaper one on here and it’s far better & sucks a lot better than this product. If you’re bitten by anything you want the power to be able to get any poison or saliva out of the wound. The cheaper plunger type on Amazon are superb and rally strong. One in the cheaper version you lift the plunger like a syringe which creates a seal on this version you push the plunger downwards which doesn’t make sense. Having said all that the product does work but definitely not as good as on there half the price. The only reason i bought this one was advertising really as it says it deals with Mosquitoe, Snakes & Spider bites. On reflection the cheaper plunger types are stronger & do all off above

If there's anything biting I get bitten and to top it off I usually react badly to them. Last holiday as usual I was eaten alive whilst sat outside a restaurant one evening. The usual big red itchy lumps soon followed once back at the hotel. This device at first appeared to make the swelling worse but relieved the itching. By the following morning the swelling had subsidised significantly and within a few day's the bites were well on the mend. With previous bites before using this I would normally be scratching and suffering for weeks making a bigger mess in the process.
