^^ This. Used to get them quite frequently when I was young and picking berries. Painting the red welt with nail polish was about the only thing that helped relieve the itching. Jerry

When I had to live in Kansas, this was the advice I was given because it kills the F’ers. For me at least, it didn’t do a damn thing for the itch. Clear, unscented, non-sudsy household ammonia is the ticket. Dab it on the bites with finger tip, Qtip, cotton ball, etc. It also works to take the itch out of mosquito bites. Remedy No. 3 Ammonia This is a common ingredient found in over-the-counter bug-bite treatments such as After Bite. However, you can use household ammonia in the same way. Just dip a cotton-tipped applicator in the ammonia and dab on the bites. Of course, this one is kind of smelly, but the odor does not usually last long and is contained by clothing. https://www.grit.com/farm-and-garden/do-it-yourself/diy-chigger-bite-relief/

Q-tip with bleach works for me. The bug is already gone, and you are just dealing with the juice they inject into your skin. Burns a little, but it stops the itching.

Never had a chigger bite, but was betting afterbite would work !

It's my understanding that chiggers now prefer to be referred to as "Insects of color"..

Gotta let it run its course. By the time you feel it, the critter is dead, and your body begins to react to it, that's the itch. Takes three days for it to stop.
Every time I exit the truck in questionable territory, I spray my boots from the ankle down with Deep Woods Off. Never had a single chigger or tick bite having done so. Be careful around any painted surface, it is an excellent paint remover.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
