This won't cure you of malaria, but it will, definitely deal with the irritating sensations that are produced when you are bitten by a mosquito. The Zap-It Mosquito Bite Relief is a smallish contraption, no taller than 1½" and a little smaller in the width. At the bottom there are two small bumps and at the top there is a button. Hold the Zap-It like a syringe with the bumps at the bottom touching the bite and then you push the button. You can do this repeatedly depending on how much works for you.

The bite heals quickly and leaves no marks behind.

It's really effective! And it requires no batteries, contains no toxic chemicals and will last you up to 1000 bites. A miracle remedy if ever there was one!
