💚 Dear Lyme Warriors, We NEED YOUR HELP…. After we entered the tick space with our new tick remover tool, we weren’t prepared for the number of people who reached out to us asking for help and guidance around the topic of Lyme disease, education, and awareness. It was evident there was a real lack of viable resources that weren't tarnished with misinformation and individuals taking advantage of others; even our own community didn’t know where to turn or who to trust. As part of our commitment to sharing only factual, transparent, and accurate information directly from world-leading experts on the front line through our Guardians Against Ticks Initiative, we are now summoning our own community and beyond to help give back in a creative and free way. Global Lyme Alliance offers a free mentor/mentee program that is an incredible resource for helping people or their loved ones who are dealing with Lyme disease. What we are looking for: 1) Men or women who have been through their own personal Lyme journey and would be willing to participate in the Global Lyme Alliance's Mentor/Mentee program to be strategically paired with someone who needs support. (This is a free program) (*Mentors who are men are desperately needed, as there is a group of male mentees already looking for support.) 2) Anyone who is going through their own Lyme disease journey and is looking for free resources or support. If this sounds like you, please click here https://rb.gy/9jnu64 to sign up as a mentor, and you will be connected with the Global Lyme Alliance for the next steps. The only way to make change is to band together, keep everything transparent, and help each other where we can. 💚 #BugBiteThing #GlobalLymeAlliance #PeerMentor #LymeDiseaseSupport #TickBorneIllness #CommunitySupport #GuardiansAgainstTicks #LymeStrong #TogetherWeHeal

Insect Bite + Sting Suction Tool and Tick Remover Tweezer Tool
About us
As Seen on Shark Tank, Bug Bite Thing is a chemical-free solution that instantly alleviates the stinging, itching and swelling caused by insect bites and stings. The reusable tool solely uses suction to remove insect saliva or venom from underneath the skin, making it safe for all ages. Bug Bite Thing is Amazon’s #1 selling product for insect bite relief, with over 90,000 reviews. In June 2023, it introduced Bug Bite Thing Tick Remover for people and pets, as prompt tick removal reduces the chances of transmitting tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease. Featuring a patented double-side design that meets Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for proper tick removal, the tweezer tool is chemical-free and reusable. The company gained national recognition in October 2019 when Kelley Higney and her mother, Ellen McAlister, appeared on ABC’s hit show, ‘Shark Tank.’ All the Sharks were biting with offers to invest in the business, but it was Lori Greiner’s ‘Golden Ticket’ offer that secured the partnership. Bug Bite Thing is the recipient of many 38 prestigious awards, including the 2023 Inc. 5000 List, Inc. 's 2022 Best in Business List in Consumer Products, the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval and many more. Based in Port St. Lucie, Florida, the company is a Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) certified enterprise. Bug Bite Thing’s community partners include the St. Lucie County Economic Development Council and Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Lucie County. Bug Bite Thing’s Suction Tool and Tick Remover are available on Amazon and BugBiteThing.com. Bug Bite Thing Suction Tool can also be purchased at over 30,000 retail locations nationwide and in 34 countries.
