I Need A Remedy .... Stat!

[BAT]

The one time I don't spray down my boots and pants with repellent and I get attacked by Chiggers. I am suffering from bites on my legs. The itching is driving me crazy. Anybody got any remedies for the itching. I will try anything at this point  :blink:

 

PS ... To prove just how bad of a situation I'm in I will even consider trying any crazy crap bakon suggest  :wacko:

[Jenny]

Oh no!   I don't have any ideas on what would help but I hope someone does before Bakon comes up with an idea.... :o

[NADA]

Max Strength Preparation H. Sounds crazy but it stops itching and inflammation anywhere - it's not just for the butt. Do the cream not the ointment....less greasy.

 

Cortisone cream works almost as well.

[Reciprocity]

Calamine Lotion may help as well. For temporary relief, a cool compress (cloth soaked in cold water) applied to the skin or even immersing the affected area in cool water may help.

Natural yoghurt..it takes all the sting out ...poor you ...

Oh no how terrible I swear half the bug sprays are no good... Almost as bad as using a strong sunscreen and getting burned :(

[Dee]

Did you try an oatmeal bath? That works for chicken pox

[babs609]

uggggghh...I had them once and my son was infested!  I felt horrible for him.  

I can't add to  what any of the above said....tried them all...they help..to a degree

Just a side note but, I have never heard of a chigger before. I was imagining something like this ...........

 

[Dee]

Yep they look like that! hahah

[Doreensfree]

To be honest..I havnt either..I was thinking it was like a midgy...

Maybe the sarge..or boo.might know..they are our two Bear Grylls...does sucking poison out need to be done...

If so ..ask a close friend ...

[Boo]

A cold shower and beer.  Works for me.

 

A simple way to avoid chigger bites in the future is to put a bit of deodorant in any vulnerable areas.  It blocks the pores and doesn't allow the little buggers to inject their saliva.

does sucking poison out need to be done...

I'm not that close a friend to anyone to be sucking poison out of them :o

Having a hard time quitting smoking, then get chiggers. I promise you that cigarettes will be last thing you will be thinking about.

[Nicole Diver]

Smear on sour cream? Wait that's enchiladas..

[Doreensfree]

 

Oh.this is not what I was thinking at all....these in my pants...no chance...try duct tape...on the hems..

[BAT]

After two shots and two prescriptions from the doc the itching is sitarting to fade. It took everything I had to keep from scratching. That was the worst. I will never forget to spray down with repellent again.

[Doreensfree]

 

Maybe you should get one of these....solved..

[Jenny]

I'm not that close a friend to anyone to be sucking poison out of them :o

lmao!  I was thinking the same thing!  If that were a requirement I would seriously need to evaluate how much I really need any of my friends in my life!!.

[Reciprocity]

^^^ Pretty sure even the wife would be SOL :P

[bakon]

Why are you where the bugs are? I understand being a man's man and hunting your own meat but then you grow up and get a job. Only thing the woods are for, is passing through on a motorized anything. Boat car or bike. Other great thing of being a paid man's man is buying your meat. Already plucked ducked skinned and wrapped. Then fire up grill in the cut grass or cement pond area of the yard and still no critters. Or for a treat- eat out. I love to eat out. My wife likes it too

[bakon]

Duct tape your hands and get a straw for the beer. Then sit back and enjoy the itch realizing it's still easier than a cigarette urge. Smile and squirm but don't scratch or your weak.
