Therapik®

Therapik delivers heat in the precise temperature range necessary to increase blood flow to the localized bite or sting while deactivating the venom from over 20,000 different species of insects and sea creatures utilizing the scientific principle that most insect venom is thermolabile (sensitive to heat).

The Therapik relieves pain and itch from bug bites and insect stings by the direct application of heat for 20-30 seconds. This heat application increases the localized blood flow to the affected area reducing and or eliminating the welt, pain and or itch after a sting or bite. The discomfort is also caused by irritating proteins left behind that are found in the venom or saliva and these proteins are broken down by the heat (thermolability) while increasing blood flow.
