I hunted most of the day tuesday and made the mistake of not using insect repellent.Fellas I am paying the price,these damn red bugs are trying to eat me alive.Never again will I not spray myself down when it's warm weather and track through the woods.I was a kid the last time I got in them this bad.A case of red bug bites would make even Hillary tell the truth....

I feel for you. Apparently there is only one cure. 10 days or so.

All of the regular repellent works on them. Once you got them, you got them though.

Chigarid for the bites is AMAZING.
Permethrin from TS is like $5. Dilute it and spray down your hunting clothes real good, Wash your clothes in scent free stuff and you will still be protected.

I posted this before......scratch until your eyes roll back in your head, wait 30 seconds and repeat.

Chiggers aren't so bad. Just don't scratch at them and they'll go away. If you can't do that, then....scratch at them until you break the skin, then get in salt water.
I prefer not to scratch them, though.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Scratch, no scratch, treatment, no treatment - all seems to be the same to me. They drive you nuts for ten days or so.

I may have got in 'em today bad since I found one on me when I got home. I got the atv stuck in a dry creek bed and it took me a damn hhalf hour to winch out. Think I got covered up with them in there.

Think I got covered up with them in there. how does one get stuck in a dry creek? The sides got squared out real bad. I had to do some piddlin' on the neighbors land with the atv to avoid getting stuck again. If I never have to use another winch again it'll be too soon.
