Great! A must have. 5 May 2009

I have always suffered quite badly from insect bites with them becoming very inflamed and uncomfortable. As such I have tried a lot of remedies and I have to say this is the best I've come across. Not only does it sooth the itching and reduce the size of the bite, but I found it also helps the skin to heal afterwards without any scaring. It's small and easy to use and the most effective treatment for insect bites I have found. Great!

Almost like magic..., 25 Aug 2007

I've just returned from a 3 week holiday in Turkey and I must have very tasty blood or something because I was bitten all over my body for the entire 3 weeks (not trying to put people off visiting Turkey!!!!). My friend, who was with me had one of these Zap-Its! in his possession and I was shocked at how effective a little bolt of electricity was on a mosquito bite. Recommend this to everyone!

Beat those bites, 27 Jun 2007   

Having been bitten to death recently on a yoga holiday in Corfu (morning and evening classes in grassy areas) I was so grateful to my husband for having sent me on my holiday with this wonderful gadget. It is strange to think that a pain free tiny amount of electricity can have such a magical effect on insect bites - the mosquitoes found all of us very tasty - a few clicks on the bitten area reduced the itching and you could see the swelling go down with each click. Most of the group thought it was a ridiculous idea until they saw the effects and then the only 2 things disturbing our peaceful yoga classes were the call to borrow "my clicker" and the clicking of my Zap-It! giving instant relief. Thank you for whoever invented it.

At last have been able to find a replacement for the Click that l bought in Oz. Took on a holiday to The Maldives and it got past around the restaurant table every night. These tiny little things really to work, can't praise it enough. Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

Remove the itch after an insect bite!

Zap-It! is the new brand for the famous itch reliever after you have been bitten. Originally launched as ZapperClick, we not only have changed the brand name to Zap-It but we have also made design improvements to give more zaps for your money.

Zap-It!  works by sending small electrical impulses via a quartz crystal which stop the release of histamine. It takes the itch out of that bite! Simply place the tip of the zapper over a bite, click the activating button several times and swelling vanishes in minutes.

A MUST-CARRY- IT-WITH-YOU product when traveling or at barbecues, and the urge to scratch is forgotten. Zap-It! is clinically approved and tested by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Available generally: for best prices in the UK check out Superdrug, Lloyds Pharmacies, Tesco, J Sainsbury,  Aldi.
