    Close enough, it doesn't extract anything but it has a small piezoelectric clicker in it like a lighter that gives you a little jolt of electricity.
    It's supposed to 'neutralise the venom' or some nonsense but whatever it is relieves the itch.

    Simonhead - you're up.

    Oh is it one of those things that you are meant to press on insect bites to extract the supposed venom.

    a much loved and slightly* radioactive thing, i think it will be easy



    *more than typical background, but it's just a smidge of beta decay so not as bad as the old ones (that's all the hint i'm giving)

    Are you back on the marble obsession, or is it a Caithness paperweight? It's lovely, whatever it is.

    (search for exploded marbles, for more examples. some are very lovely indeed)
