New treatment for bug bites and bee stings from Tec Labs

March 23, 2016

Textured or smooth? It’s your choice. In time for spring, Tecnu Bites & Stings Medicated Itch and Pain Relief Wipes from Tec Labs feature a new technology for treating insect bites and bee stings. Each wipe has one side that is textured while the other is smooth. Tecnu Textures™ is the trademarked name of the new technological advancement.

The homeopathic product’s towelettes are infused with the following active ingredients: Grindelia robusta 3X for anti-itch and skin protection, Plantago major 4X for anti-itch, pain relief and wound healing, and Calendula officinalis 3X for wound healing and scar prevention.

Each package of Tecnu Bites & Stings contains 20 single use packets, which were designed for a purse, backpack, medicine cabinet or first aid kit. For times when a person has multiple bug bites at once, the hearty four inch wipes contain enough medication to cover a generous area of skin.

Tecnu Bites & Stings offers relief from the insect bites of mosquitos, chiggers, no-see-ums and bed bugs, and stings from bees, wasps, fire ants and more. This new item is initially available at Walmart, Rite Aid and Giant Eagle.

Tec Labs is also the maker of other popular products including Calagel Medicated Anti-Itch Gel, Tecnu Extreme Medicated Poison Ivy Scrub and Licefreee Spray Instant Head Lice Treatment.
