minus-square@Dagamant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink14•1 month agoI looked up the bug bite thing. Im glad that someone paid attention to the way most proteins in bites/stings break down if heated. I bet it works pretty good
minus-squareDeebsterlinkfedilink6•edit-21 month agoI doubt that you can get your skin hot enough to denature those proteins without damaging yourself. I’ve given myself a blister before trying.
minus-square@Dagamant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•1 month agoit says it gets to 170F. thats hot enough to get shallow stuff like mosquito bites and most stings.
minus-square@Lemming6969@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•1 month agoThat temperature is dangerous, will burn you, and the mechanism of action for these things isn’t denaturation.
minus-square@Dagamant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•1 month agoim not sure and it would vary from protein to protein but the thing says it gets up to 170F which is probably enough for a fair few
