I was using a hot spoon for a long time and last summer discovered that there are insect bite relief pens.

They're small pen shaped things that you can easily fit in your purse. They have a metal pad that heats up when activated.

What's good about them is that they don't stay hot longer than needed so there's no risk of burns. Plus, they're more portable and get less attention than a spoon with a lighter 😅

We had to buy one for my daughter when she was a baby. If we didn’t use it immediately, she’d get welts the size of golf balls wherever she got bit. Thankfully, now that she is three, she seems to have grown out of the sensitivity. She still gets bigger than normal welts, but nothing like when she was a baby. Those were scary.

Sounds scary! So happy to hear she grew out of the sensitivity.
