best thing for chigger bites

[Noc off]

cap full of pine-o-pine in ur bathwater. Using this for 40 yrs. worked every time for me and my family.

Told a buddy to try this when we were in high school,he didn't listen real good an put in the whole bottle, The next call I get he's in the emergency room, Got rid of the chiggers and got a vasectomy in 1 application,LMAO

Y'all are going to laugh at this one but works good for both chigers and fire ants. Preparation H, it will stop the itching quick. No BS.

By the time it itches the chiggers are long gone. Clear finger nail polish won't do anything. I have no idea about head and shoulders. Bleach in a tub works great if you have been in an area that may have had chiggers but again once you itch it is game over.

They are already gone, itch relief is what you are looking for now, If fingernail polish keeps you from scratching then use it. Use a preventative bug spray instead. Chigger rid helps with the itch, Benadryl, ...etc.

Have your wife tape your hands to the recliner so you can't scratch.

As stated before, they do not burrow or penetrate the skin, so there is nothing to "kill or smother" once you have a bite. What we know as chiggers are an immature stage of development of a mite, the adults eat plant material. They lightly attach at thin point on the skin and release digestive enzymes that form a tube, picture a well. Then they consume the liquified contents of the tube. This process continues for several hours. The longer they are on you the longer the tube gets. As a defense your body encapsulates and hardens the tube and fights it like any other foreign material, that's why it itches so bad. Prevention is the best solution. If you think you have been in contact, wipe down your sensitive areas with a wet wash cloth (this knocks them off easily and they are only capable of feeding once) and get out of the clothes you were wearing within a couple hours to lessen the damage. Scratching causes secondary Infection and increases itchiness, so anti itch remedies are good. Anything else is folk lore.

You need three things.

1. Lighter Fluid

2. Match

3. Ice Pick

Liberally apply lighter fluid to affective area and let it soak in for a few minutes. Than light with match. After lit, use ice pick to put out fire

Guaranteed, instant relief

That's not a problem. You just need a longer hose.

Take a bath in diesel

Bleach bath is only way to go. It does take some of your tan away, so go easy on it.

Tink's 69. Cover your entire body in it. Then go hunt the rut. Works great.

clear finger nail polish always did the trick for me

Using clear nail polis is actually just a myth. It does nothing because the chiggers do not burrow into the skin, they attach themsleves to the skin and release an enzyme. As soon as you scratch the itch it removes the chigger so no need for bleach or any other of these home remedies.

bleach works great before you have the sores

once you do you'll need to endure and use chiggerex
