Dang things have put a whooping on me this year.
Today I got 8-10 bites and one that brought on a entirely new level of misery

How the heck do you get rid of the itching

91% isopropyl alcohol doesn’t do much of anything

Every time either one of us goes to the garden to pick anything. We get ate up.

Permethrin is about the only thing I’ve found that works more times than it doesn’t. I’ve always heard once you start to itch you’re about a day late.

Cool Mint Listerine. You smell like mouthwash, but it helps with the itch.

Yep, by the time you’re itching they’re long gone. I hit my ankles and pants legs with repellent every time I get out of the truck in the country.

Benedril cream helped some but they are awful. I got into some bad a few years ago. It was about 2 weeks of pure misery.

Before me and my wife got married, we went and checked a couple coon traps. Then went back to my house 😄..the next morning she called and said you gave me something! 23rd anniversary Saturday!


Love a good hunting story, love my family and friends. Some people you can't, but acted like do.

Vagisil cream helps with the itch about as well as anything else I’ve tried. The chiggerid stuff always worked pretty good not sure if they still make it. I’ve heard bathing in Clorox bath helps some also

Chigger x is the best if you can can find it. In a plastic jar.

Get about 8 or 10 of those bites along your belt line and you will count the days till the burning stops.

I’ve been stung by bullet ants, tarantula wasp, a caterpillar that paralyzed my leg, and a multitude of other insects worldwide. I still don’t appreciate chiggers on my ball sack nor azz crack. Nothing really works after the bite cept lidocaine.

That's what I use. That spray with hot water or clean with alcohol before you apply it for best results. Like others said spray with repellent to avoid them is the best bet though. I hate chigs
