Incognito offers a range of products like citronella deodorant, incense sticks and mosquito nets to prevent bug bites, in addition to a product that will treat insect bites for those times that pests inevitably get through.

The 'Zap-Ease' is a tool for bite relief that works by localizing the poison and preventing the [release of histamine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pbz-otc), which is what causes [itchiness and the urge to scratch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dont-scratch-that). To use the device, the gun-shaped form is held against the skin and the trigger is clicked as many times as needed to offer relief. As a result the surrounding skin is unharmed, while the bitten area is protected from inflammation and swelling.

In addition to treating [mosquito and insect bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-bite-thing), Incognito's Zap-Ease is also useful for nettle and jellyfish stings.
