  Sounds expensive compared to boiling a kettle. I actually looked this up, boiling a litre of water in a kettle costs about two pence and I’d only boil around half a pint (~280 ml) for this costing me 0.56p per go. That device retails for about £30 where I live so I’d need to be bitten badly enough for it to be a problem about 5,350 times before it’d be worthwhile. I guess it depends on whether the device is durable enough to last that long, and whether or not you’re careful enough to avoid burns with the spoon method!

    The main advantage is that it is quick and delivers a quantity of heat that matches what is needed to inactivate the mosquito's venom. Assuming your leisure time is worth 20p per minute, the cost is quickly amortized.
