Chiggers BAD! Need help

[tbgascorer]

B-1 is a water soluble vitamin, so it is very difficult to reach a toxic level. The excess is excreted through urine and your skin, which is why it works. It is one of the few vitamins (B7 also) that has a sulfur atom in it, so it likely gives off an odor that insects and arthropods don't like. Since my family and I started using it, we've gotten not a single chigger or tick. Our ranch is full of both, so I know for a fact that it works. The gnats were horrible last weekend, and they bothered me far less than my son, who refused to take the B-1. I haven't tried it on mosquitos, but it supposedly works to some extent on them too.

Worth a shot

A few weeks ago I got into them bad bad...like I stopped counting at 200 bites bad. I tried everything in the book and couldn't stop the itch. My last resort was a thing I saw online in one place - Vicks vaporub mixed with table salt. I mixed a tablespoon of salt in about a half bottle of vaporub then put it on every single bite. It burned for an hour or so, but it was a good burn! After that I had no problems at all with the itching. I thought maybe it was just a coincidence and I was out of my prime time itching stage when I put it on. Well, just this morning I had two more and put that stuff on them, forgot I even had them until this thread!

Also, wash EVERYTHING. Change your sheets every night for 3 or 4 days. Don't wear the same jeans without washing. Get in the shower right after possibly being exposed to them if you can. Etc etc

Kind of like a queen bee, if you get rid of the head chigger in charge the colony will die.


On 2nd thought I don't think it's politically correct to call them chiggers anymore, chegros may work idk. Just trying to avoid the pc police

Funny

thers some crap called chiggerex. it will keep them form itching as bad for a while. put sulfur all over yer britches and socks every time you go outside. they wont get on you. don't pay attention to the people who say you have kill the chigger to make it quit itching. the chigger is gone by the time you know hes there. it wont do any good to put nail polish on it, or bleach, or whatever. you just need to help the itch a little.

This. X10

sounds like this works!!! thanks! like you say when you come in from the field you have to wash everything. If you don't they will live a long long time in your clothes rugs etc. Check the life span on those bad boys.

That ought to work the same but I just used table salt. We went out walking today in the pasture and I have two more on my ankles, they're in the 'good burn' stage right now with the vaporub. Those suckers got past my jeans tucked into my boots AND sulfer powder! Which got me to thinking earlier, I wonder how long they can hang out inside a boot cause that's the only thing I wear that isn't washed daily now...

I have gotten them bad twice this year already. I've found that "new skin" works great to keep the bite from itching also take a few Benadryl. Good luck!
