A shot of Prednisone OP. I got chiggers while shoveling up an old sawdust pile. I thought it was poison ivy from somewhere else but it turned out to be chigger bites. Poison ivy or chiggers, get a shot of steroids with some follow up pills and you’ll start feeling better within hours.

This is goddamm day f ucking one deer hunting knowledge
Chiggers do not infest and burrow in. If you are confusing them with some other arthropod then fine, educate yourself and identify
Can certainly pick out who the f….uck is not an early season bowhunter. Or anyone that can read at 6th grade level

Always a joy to get a covey of them on the nuts. Several days of the joy gets rid of them.

Ok for all of you that recommend clear finger nail polish, how does that help exactly? If you think you’re suffocating the chigger? News flash! Once it starts to itch, that chigger is long gone looking for its next meal.
I tried all the various remedies over the years. The best thing to do is to clean the bite site and refrain from scratching it. One thing that seems to help clean up the bite and heal it faster is actually over the counter acne medication, either in cream or pads. It helps to clean out the junk that the chigger left behind. I said this earlier in the thread - I think the nail polish stops anything from brushing against the "bite" sites and irritating it. It stays on for a full day or two giving your body a little time to get over the worst of it. Use with an antihistamine. I have not tried a drawing salve on them. Anyone?

I've always had good results with clear fingernail polish for any insect bites . . . well, except for brown recluse bite.
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .

Brown recluse is not an insect so there's that.

True that . . . most folks in these parts just lump them in the "bugs" grouping.
