Remember - a bee is not as big as its bite – you can attest to that if you’ve even been a target, so sooth the sting with Adventure Medical Kits After Bite Xtra topical ointment. The nice thing about the After Bite Xtra topical ointment is that it uses natural antiseptics – ammonia, backing soda and tea tree oil – so you know it’s safe to use on your kids and on yourself. And because bees and wasps are just a couple of the pests to be avoided outdoors, After Bite Xtra is also great to use on Fire Ant bites and Jellyfish stings, so it’s a must-have on all your excursions into the great outdoors. This topical ointment is pocket sized, so convenient to bring along wherever you go, it’s easy to apply and fast acting. Buy it for $3.99. Adventure Medical Kits.
