5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2011

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars After Bite Itch Eraser works well.
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2014

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.

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.

This works better than I expected. I am a mosquito magnet and have a big histamine response response to bites. This helps neutralize the itch. It would be great if I could use it right after a bite and before I scratch, but that never happens. It does sting if you out it on after scratching and breaking the skin, but it's minor. My kids love it too. It doesn't take away the itch completely but works better than cortisone cream.

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.

After Bite is the best. We live in a rural area and spend a lot of time outdoors. After Bite is the only thing we found that takes care of a simple mosquito bite, to a fire ant bite, and everything in between. Fire ants are a huge problem where we are and when you get bit/stung by one of them the misery lasts over a week. With After Bite, it makes it tolerable.

I love this product. As an avid gardener, I am outside most of the day during the summer in my yard with a pool, located across the street from a river. We have tons of mosquitoes and biting flies. I carry an After Bite stick with me and if you use it soon after being bitten, it eliminates the itch and the swelling goes down quickly. Used to buy it at drug stores, but they don't seem to carry it anymore.

Nice, neat and easy to use. Although it does relieve itching it does not last very long - about two hours before having to apply once more.
