Chiggers on the nutsack is the worst for me
Lather your sack with fingernail polish remover, it burns but gets them out

Never had PI but I’ve been covered in chiggers three times. I can’t imagine anything worse than chiggers. God I hope I never get them again.

Haha that's doesn't actually do anything. I don't think putting acetone on your nut sack is ideal

Which is worse: chiggers or poison ivy?
I've had chiggers about 10x and poison ivy about 30x, a bad case of poison ivy is worse. I was at a Delts of Hazard party at A&M and ran into the woods absolutely hammered when the cops showed up and wanted my ID (I just got an MIP the week before)...woke up the next morning laying in the woods in a bed of poison ivy, it was god awful, I had scars for like 6 months from that shite.

Chiggers and not even close. Itching drives you insane

Always knew them as Redbugs.
I got in them real bad one time clearing off some land. Had heard a little bit of bleach in bath water would get rid of them…..So if a little does a little good a lot does a lot of good…right?
A red Irish potato would be about the best description for a certain part of my anatomy . Walked like I was straddle of a 55 gallon drum for about a week.

chiggers around the ballsack is so miserable.
That sure brings back memories of having to sit in a #2 washtub filled with strong bleach water when I was a kid.

Hard question bc it depends how allergic you are. As a youngin’ I’d say red bugs hands down, especially when they get you on your balls and creases oh your legs. Lol
Now I hung a lock on and got poison sumac all over my body and I had to get 2 steroid shots and it still lingered for weeks, so my answer has changed!

One particular turkey hunt i got into a pile of both. I don’t know what was worse but I can tell you I was the itchiest MoFo on the planet.
It was a successful hunt but when I got home to clean the bird my hands/arms started itching from the ivy then my genitals from the chiggers.

Poison Ivy is worse.
They are about equal in misery, maybe even red bugs are worse in that aspect.
But I am highly allergic to poison ivy (actually have it now) and even being really careful to avoid, cover myself with clothing, and wash good I still get it. Chiggers I spray Off and don't get them.

I had poison Ivey so many times when I was younger that I think I have built up an immunity to it.
Same here, would get it head to toe every summer as a kid. Never get it now. Same with wasp stings, would have to go get a shot when stung as a kid, which was a few times a summer thing. Now they barely leave a mark, although painful. frick those guys.

How are ya'll managing to get red bugs there?
I usually just get them only my sock line.

my experience as well. interesting that several of us on this thread seem to have outgrown poison ivy. if i get it now it stays very localized, whereas as a kid and even in high school and college, when i got into, that shite spread all over my body within a couple days.
maybe all the years of booze has made my body less ideal for poison ivy spreading.

Chiggers. Because I don’t catch poison ivy
Posted on 8/22/24 at 10:14 pm to DTRooster
I’ve never been allergic to poison ivy.
I move dto my family property in 1999,been coming here since I was a kid.Before I moved here I used to get eaten up with red bugs (chiggers) when I would come here in the summer .
After I had been living here about a year I was never affected by the red bugs,anymore .I suppose I built antibodies to them.
I always wondered why my grandparents never got them and me and my cousins would get eaten up by them.I guess that is why.

Poison ivy does seem miserable, but like others, the lord hath shined a light on his most favorite of children and blessed me with immunity.
Redbugs, on the other hand, are straight from the depths of hell.
I have found that sitting in a bath with epson salt clears them up most of the time.

Never had poison ivy. Chiggers aka Red Bugs have made my life miserable on numerous occasions. My dad used to boast he was not allergic to poison ivy. He would wade into the thickets at our lease trimming lanes etc.. Until one day Boom, I guess he developed an allergy to it and he was covered in that stuff. Miserable... I paid attention and avoid it to not suffer the same fate..
