Bug Bite Thing After Shark Tank

Bug Bite Thing closed its deal with Lori Greiner, then became one of the more visible Season 11 consumer-product winners. The product was easy to explain, cheap enough for mass retail, and demo-friendly for TV. (Bug Bite Thing Shark Tank update ).
Follow-up coverage documents a major retail buildout, including CVS, Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon, and a later Season 12 update segment about rapid growth during the COVID-19 period. (Bug Bite Thing follow-up reporting ).
The current official store sells the suction tool, kids versions, accessories, and bundles, so the brand remains active around its original chemical-free insect-bite relief positioning. (Bug Bite Thing official site ).
