Unless you do have some sort of allergy to it and swelling becomes a serious issue, really the only danger of these bites is when/if they get infected after a few days. I've been bit. Keep the area clean, it'll hurt and burn first but then turn to itching. It should stop itching after 4 or 5 days. Epsom salt soaks couldn't hurt.
Not sure about buying a device that applies heat to the area. Although it did look neat, I might just use a hair dryer to accomplish the same.
I laughed when I read about the meat tenderizer because I pictured someone beating on their bug bite with a small spiked mallet. I did realize though...just herbs and enzymes, a different type of tenderizer.
I also wouldn't recommend slicing yourself with an exacto knife and rubbing herbs into it. Although I'm a believer in plant medicines, save that for something you would do if you had no other options.
