I live in South GA, we have it all. Fire Ants, Mosquitos, redbugs, yellowfly (May Fly). This stuff is simply brilliant. Within minutes of putting it on bites it gives relief. My family and I spend a lot of time outdoors and insect bites are just going to happen. While gardening I foolishly stood in a fireant bed just long enough for my legs to be knee deep in ants, before they alerted for the first bite, and I was not easily able to get the ants off me due to the number and distance I was away from a garden hose. I was in agony sitting on a plant pot in tears with the garden hose trying to wash them off my legs and feet. I was in so much pain, I thought I might go into shock. I ran in the house and I keep this burt bee bite stick in our kitchen drawer. I had used this little wonder stick on a few odd bites and stings in the past, but this time I was not sure that it would "cut the mustard" as they say. I was very surprised and thankfully I received immediate relief. It deflated a very stressful situation very quickly. Also, my daughter is 4, if she gets a bite, she knows where we keep it, and won't even bother to ask, within minutes the itch and sting of a bite is a non issue. We have other bite cream, but we no longer reach for it first. I also think it reduces scaring. In June of this year I had the misfortune of getting nipped by a yellow fly and in the past I have had very severe reactions to their bites which usually results in alot of tissue damage and scaring. The stick gave good relief, and I used it a great deal during the lengthy healing process which I think helped prevent so much scaring. Bottom line, I thought it was expensive as I am a cheapo at heart. I bought it while stocking up the medicine cabinet with my FSA card and quite truthfully after using it, the [$] and something it costs is a bargin. If the stick cost $50. I would still buy it and keep it in the house. It is like other users have said, "like a chap stick", it is very cost effective and travels well in a hot and humid climate. I have had many a lipstick melt in my makeup bag, but this thing does not seem to melt or leak in normal travelling use. WELL Worth the money.Thanks for such a brilliant little product.
