As a survivalist, I love to spend time outdoors and working on the farm. Part of being outdoors is the hazards of local wildlife and the many insects that are around my area.

A big problem is the many spiders that lurk in dead branches and pieces of wood laying around my property. In this post, I will show you a very easy and simple device that is designed to draw poison out of a spider bite.

Infact everyone should have the Bug Bite relief tool in their first aid kit.

How the Bug Bite relief tool works.

How to Draw Poison out of a Spider Bite

When you get stung by a spider, wasp, bee, or any other venomous creature the toxins will remain under your skin. Usually, your body will deal with it and over time neutralize the irritation.

The bug bite extractor tool works by a vacuum to draw out the venom to the surface. This provides instant relief and less pain for you.

It only takes 30 seconds and you will get instant relief. As you can see from the image above the Bug Bite thing tool has sucked out this insect bite poison to the top.

It is the perfect addition to your survival bug out bag checklist. It will never wear out or require servicing. Maybe just was it out from time to time.
