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.
