After Bite

This Afterbite roll on is great to have on hand when you least expect that you’ll get attacked by mosquitoes, flies, or other annoying pests. If you’ve ever been caught outside at dusk without bug spray you may also know the frustration of trying to enjoy time with friends while getting eaten alive by mosquitoes or swarmed by flies. This handy little roll-on bottle is an easy way to make sure that you always have some bite relief on hand in your purse.

Some people have no reaction to mosquito bites and others (like me) get huge, red welts that itch and burn so badly that I want to jump out of my skin! It’s no fun at all when I get a bite and so I did some research to figure out WHY ME! Er, I mean, why the bites itch so badly and what on earth I can do to relieve it. purse. pocket, or bag. I carry them everwhere!

Mosquito and insect bites itch because our bodies have a histamine reaction to the insects saliva, a mini allergic reaction. When your body detects bug spit, it quickly sends in histamine, an immune response that makes the site turn into a red bump. The bump is itchy and when you scratch it, it gets even more inflamed and more itchy.
