Just change the ers to an a and you will stop itching. They don’t like to be called chigger.

He said the “C word.” That’s racist as frick. He’s a white cis-gender oppressor in a patriarchal society. They prefer to be called “red bugs.”

Glad we agree on this

Watch for swelling in your groin area. Unfortunately, chiggers like to bite in the groin area because the skin is easier to bite. In some cases, this can cause “summer penile syndrome,” which results in itching, swelling, and trouble peeing.

White vinegar.
When I was a small youngun growing up in central Louzana my mom would soak a rag with turpentine and dab the bite area ..... burned like hell but sure seemed to work. Probably wasn't the healthiest thing to do but....hell I drank for the water hose also and I'm still here.

First this ^^^^^ to stop the itch, then clear nail polish to smother them.

By the time youre looking online for treatments, they should be off of you. They dont bury in you or anything like that.
Its the bite from the juveniles that itches you

this, it kills them quickly, they bury into the skin, and use that path they dug to breathe, you use the nail polish and it suffocates them immediately.

Nail polish on each one before blisters.

Key words = BEFORE BLISTERS.
Had a rough case of them in high school.
If the blisters last long at all, go to the doctor. Those easily become a staph infection and will be infinitely more painful unless you get treated.

The nail polish is a myth. They don’t burrow into your skin, it is a poison in their bite/saliva secretion that makes it hurt/itch. The best preventive is to shower ASAP from coming out of the woods. If it’s too late over the counter creams, and if your doctor can prescribe a stronger cortisone cream, that is the best solution and then time. You’ll have to ride it out. I feel ya man. Have a had a couple times badly. The worst was last fall in the woods with my boy on a Friday, did not shower on Saturday due to piddling around the house by the time Sunday rolled around it was too late. I was up for damn near 48 hours straight in agony.

Am I the only one as a kid that only got red bug bites on my ball sack?
Posted on 5/4/19 at 1:02 pm to NolaTiger52
Has anyone ever set the showerhead on a jet type setting and blasted the bites with hot water before? Feels like you've died and gone to heaven.

2 cups of bleach in a bath.
