Summer is around the corner. The bugs will be out in force soon. I'll be out camping this weekend and although it's a bit cool right now I expect there will be some hardy mosquitos and ticks looking for blood...
I just went out and bought a piezoelectric igniter for a gas grill. Cost about $15. It looks like those little zappers for arthritis pain that were being sold here a while ago, or like a short fat syringe without a needle. One electrical contact is on the end of the igniter, the other is farther up the barrel. I connected the barrel contact with a wire to a washer that I installed at the end of the barrel (insulated from the center contact). So I now have the washer as one contact and the other is protruding through the center of the hole in the washer. If I press the end against my skin, there is about 1/4 inch of space between the contact points. I plan to use this on any tick or mosquito bites I get... Doesn't feel bad at all, since the contacts are so close together. When they were farther apart it didn't hurt but the stimulation felt very disconcerting, somehow. Re: CS>Spider Bite Zapper?
