Today I learned there’s a USB-C dongle for mosquito bites.

It’s called the Heat It, and apparently it can work! Not that you need an app-based gadget like this; apparently standalone heat pens are an entire category of bug bite remedy. There are also suction-based sting removers — though some reviews suggest those work best if you notice the bite immediately.
