  • Fawkin chiggers!

    Sonofa.....

    I made the mistake of sitting down in the grass to work on something and should have showered right after. Any tried and true remedies to stop the itching? Most of the time the itch is there long after they are gone.

    Paint over them with fingernail polish. Works great on poison ivy too.

      Old school Ban deodorant works well without the burn of fingernail polish.

          Yall are talking about things for when the chigger is still there, but those don't make the itch go away.

            Got two bites on my right foot and one just about the waistband of my right hip. Just using Benadryl and an anti itch ointment. My ankle is swollen about 1 1/2 times its normal size. Spent the day walking the Fort Worth zoo today. Tomorrow we are headed to Six Flags for the whole day. I am already dragging azzzz. By tomorrow night I will be dead.

              I have some bites right now. Vicks vapor rub helps.

                  Chiggars suck ass, the little bastards move around causing itching spots for days after they've been there. If I think I've gotten in them or have gotten them, I use a downward washing motion in the shower with a loofa (however the Hell that's spelled). I've tried nail polish, bite creams, etc, so far nothing that is anything more than temporary relief. Couple that with working outside daily and the normal Texas heat and humidity and it just plain sucks.

                      What you gotta do is scratch them open. I mean you gotta get after it. You basically want to level the bump with the surrounding skin.

                      But I'm no dr so this may not work

                        Vinegar! Rub the area with white vinegar, wait 5 mins, then shower.

                              let the back yard go a bit too long and finally mowed last weekend.

                              from my neck down i look like i have had herpes explode over my body.

                              i almost blacked out when i saw a red bump on my shaft. had to sit down on the toilet and keep from crying.
