A spoon heated up with hot tap water is a pretty good approximation of the proper temperature to denature the bug proteins...

Wouldn't that just burn the skin too?

There is a temperature range where the bite is de-itched, but you aren't burned. Good luck finding it. This technique either works really well or it works really well and you end up with a blister.
