Hey, this is really good to know. Our chiropractor has the muscle stimulation machine too. Makes sense that it might work on bites, but I never thought of it before.

Just catching up on email, and I read yours. I don't always understand your posts, and maybe I'm not understanding your question here correctly -- but if I am, then the answer is yes. My chiropractor routinely alters the chemistry of venom with electricity. He has an electro-stim machine, which uses self-adhesive pads attached to wires attached to the machine -- through which electricity is conveyed to whatever spot on your body. Typically, this machine is used to deep-stimulte muscles -- such as back muscles -- to get them to release from spasms. But he also uses this machine on bites -- snake, brown recluse, tick, bee or wasp stings, etc. -- and it neutralizes the proteins/toxins of the venoms. It works so well on tick bites, that I have begun to use my Godzilla to self-treat tick bites successfully. Think I'd still head for him if I got a brown recluse bite, though!

I'd say likely so. Note that most "itch sticks" have ammonium as the base.. a caustic substance. "Pee on jelly fish stings"..ammonium again. Ammonium Hydroxide...Sodium Hydroxide. Alkaline.
