Rubbing alcohol also works very well. It burns initially, but helps so much with healing and itching.

Thank you so much. My wife is eat up with chigger bites. She is itching so bad she can't even sleep. She's itched herself raw. I mixed up some petroleum jelly and salt. She said it burns a little but the itch is slowly subsiding. THANK YOU SO MUCH! We'll be going to a clinic ASAP to get the ointment you suggested.

Thanks for the info. My wife had that exact prescription in the cabinet that the doctor gave her for shingles. Your are right! It works awesome, takes the itch away and last for a long time (also speeds up the healing process). I told my wife that the reason chiggers are red is because they are little demons! I hate getting bit by them but I love being outdoors.

Yea tree oil stops the itch for several hours. I put some on before bed and sleep without itching, then a little more after my morning shower and I’m good until the evening time. I buy the pharmaceutical grade tea tree oil.

Im Spanish women, I live here a very long time but really I will try, thank you !!!!!

How I deal with chiggers and their bites uses white vinegar, ethanol (Everclear), lavender essential oil, and an exfoliating cloth. I use a spray bottle to mist my lower legs with white vinegar to discourage their hitching a ride. I, also, spray my dogs’ feet and fur, as well as any sections of the yard that seem problematic. If any bites become noticeable, I use a spritz bottle to spray ethanol onto the itchy bite - if the chigger is still attached, it kills it; but, primarily the alcohol soaks into the skin and helps sooth the bite, as well as the benefit of the cooling action. While taking a hot sudsy shower, I use the exfoliating cloth to scour every square inch of my body that I feel is in jeopardy / this removes any still attached chiggers. Immediately after the shower, while the pores are still open, I apply the lavender essential oil to the itchy spots. The quicker you can take action, the better. Note: Of course, rubbing rubbing alcohol is good, but I’m leery of breathing the fumes for any great length of time ( note the warning labels). Reading about the chiggers’ etymology is important, as well as ways to combat them. I’ve ordered a product called Cedarcide, a cedar oil product.

Just dealt with about 2 dozen bites all around my ankles.... Got into a swimming pool filled with chlorinated water for an hour and a half.... Chiggers and itching GONE! Thank God.

That last product with the prescription it's amazing. Helped stop the itching and swelling.

I myself am currently dealing with 280 plus bites from chiggers. I've never had such an itch!

oh my gosh thank you so much! I just went to a friends house recently and we went into the forest and I didn’t realize it but turns out I had gottten a BUNCH of chigger bites. I’ll be using this thank you

Went to a family reunion picnic in St. Louis and my feet have about 10 chigger bites. Thanks so much for this information. I have that ointment on hand and will use it right away :)

Absolutely, positively the best CURE for ANY skin itch...

Thank you sooooo freakinmuch ! That last tube of stuff I dug around In the medicine cabinet and found a huge tube of it and it was instant relief. You have been a god send good sir 💕

Thanks for those remedies!

Thank you thank you thank you…. I am so glad you posted this. 50-60 bites were debilitating until trying Tacrolimus. I actually slept a few hours finally. Thanks again.

I just saw a recommendation for sodium bentonite clay. Make a paste and you get all night relief.

I had a bunch of chigger bites after helping to cut and haul a giant oak tree in the central USA. They didn't itch they burned and ached. I had bed bug bites about a decade ago from sleeping at a church infested with them in Tempe Arizona and there was bunch loads of them and they all itched so bad I had to buy a anti bug bite itch spray. The spray helped until it rubbed and then I had to more of it on. The bed bug bites are worse than mosquito bites. The itch from each bite lasted for at least two weeks, the mosquito bites the itch last usually less then a week. Well from experience.

Thanks, man... I got a 1lb plastic bottle of that Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream USP, 0.1% and I use it for poison ivy or poison oak. It will clear a bad case of poison oak up in 2 days. Anyway, I just got into a nest of good ole chiggers and I had no idea this stuff worked for that too. Just put it on the affected areas reckon you already knew but this stuff also works great for Poison Ivy and Poison Oak!! Good Stuff...

Finger nail Polish just keeps you from scratching it so much that it turns into a sore.But does nothing for the bite itself.I have a few now from deer hunting this weekend.Dam chiggers they suck bad.Walmart sells a cream just for chiggers that works pretty good as well.

On a recent camping trip, I came home with 8 chigger bites. I make chili oil with finely ground hot chili peppers and olive oil mostly, overnight in the fridge some of the oil separates to the top and I put a few drops of it on a bandaid and cover the bites, it knocked out the itch and killed the chiggers, however, it is a bit of a pain and kind of messy but the gauze on the bandaid keeps the oil against the bite. Also plain old Hydrocortisone cream does a good job reducing itch.

I got chiggers from wearing short pants while cutting grass. I noticed itching around my ankles that lasted a few days. Found out I had chiggers. A friend of mine suggested to use clear finger nail polish.I put it on the itching area until it hardened.I left it on my skin for about a couple days.The finger nail polish smothered the chiggers out & the itching went away

Wow great share we don't have chiggers here but I despise bites plus if I go visit my sister these are some great tips friend

hey man, was wondering what software you use to edit your vids, im having the hardest problem with mine. Im putting music behind the video instead of sound, and when the video changes to a new slide or clip, the music skips beat and sounds awful. Any suggestions?

All you guys, just an FYI, imagine how our poor pets feel when they cant put on anything to alleviate the maddening itch? I give my chihuahua about 3-5 drops of children's Benadryl. Not more than that, he is weighing 17 lbs., so when he weighs 10 lbs., i give him 3 drops.

Great information! Glad to have found you through JP Vlogtac. New sub.

i just use nail polish it burns a hole lot but it kills them in 20 min but may inch a small amount

Awesome video. Great information!! Subbed!

The spray and ointment I used for anti itch bug bites treatment has menthol in it. This other video said to use Vicks vapor rub. The menthol cooling and soothing helps.

Worth trying for itching for various reasons: clary sage essential oil (diluted into a carrier oil -- 6-7 drops essential oil per 2 tsps. carrier oil, such as olive oil, grapeseed oil or other good quality oil).

I get the sobs once in a while and Sarna lotion around the bites for itching and or icecubes, then put some oregano oil on the bite spots directly preferably with a qtip ASAP sooner the better if you even know what it is because it will kill them and the bacteria.

Cortisone cream works great too, it lasts a few hours. We're having an exceptionally bad year of chiggers and ticks in Virginia and I'm on the hunt to find a better repellent for the chiggers. Lathering on the deet spray isn't doing it I'm still getting a couple of bites every time I tend to my garden or spend an hour out in the backyard.

I find that by dabbing a bit of Dawn dish soap on the bite works quite well. Don't know if other brands works as I haven't tried them.

I used malaluca oil

2 of my kids have eczeme and that is the creme they gave. It works on ANY kind of "bite or sting". Even zits. Plus, their eczema is gone in 2 days. Thanks for the info!! God Bless!!!

Tried the Vaseline/salt mix, did NOT work.

I have used Chiggerex, Equate Bengay generic, and mild stun gun to zap them. Currently have many bites and zap them to stop itch then rub in chiggerex.

I had some welts that were driving me crazy so I took my fingernails and squeezed some clear juice out of each one. DIdn't really help. LOL

Shower, clean with peroxide, then apply Walgreens Wal dry, Benadryl anti itch, or Walmart version of same. The ingredients are Benadryl and zinc.

I found that Gold Bond Extra Strength Medicated lotion helps with Chigger bites! Not only does the menthol in it soothe the bites, but if you have any Chiggers left on you, the dimethicone ingredient also in the lotion is also supposed to kill them! Good luck and I hope this helps someone! These bites are awful!! 😞

I use allergy pills from Kroger that really helps with the itch and also apply alcohol base hand sanitizer.

Would a hot compress at 130-140°F (54-60°C) work? It works on mosquito bites, because that temperature range is hot enough to deactivate the enzyme that mosquitoes inject, which causes the itching, reddening and swelling, but isn't so hot that it will cause skin burns.

I got them only once, and wound up in the er. The welts swelled up to the size of apples. I got many around my chest and neck after working in a prairie. I found up with that same prescription cream and a lot of agony for a few days.

I use a homeopathic remedy: Ledum palustre 12C (12C is the potency. It comes in different potencies and 12C works best for insect bites.) It actually works for all insect bites. Within 5-10 minutes, the itch is gone. Usually for good. If it comes back, just redose. No need to use 4 pillules like it says on the tube. One will do the trick. Just remember not to touch them with your hands. Or anything else. Just tap or "squeeze" one into the top of the tube, then pop it into your clean mouth, under your tongue (Not right after brushing your teeth and well after eating or drinking anything other than clean water). If a pill falls out to the ground or elsewhere, discard it. It won't work. This remedy also works for any kind of painful trauma to the tips of your fingers or toes. Also great for puncture wounds. And not expensive either.

Clear nail polish

I use campho-phenique…amazing, no itch and healed quickly…so surprised!

I live in France where these mites are known as aoûtats. I get attacked throughout July, August and September and I have never seen one! They are really tiny. I walk my dog through agricultural land and forests, daily. I also forage for hedgerow fruit. In short, I ask for trouble and I get it. By the time you feel an itch, the culprit has gone - what remains is the digestive juice - enzymes. The enzyme molecule can be broken by the application of heat, the easiest way being by hot water. This needs to be more than shower-hot. It must be as hot as you can bear it for as long as you can, directly onto the "bite". Done with maximum fortitude this will suppress the itch for 24 hours. It's the old cowboy remedy for a rattlesnake bite but without the hot Bowie knife! Also, wear cotton clothes that you can hot wash and dry because the little devils will hang about...

A hot bath with Epsom Salts works well to relieve chigger bites. Enjoy the soak while watching KZfaq on your phone or tablet. Look up the amount of salts to use on line.

Nice tips I've found.. Wintergreen witch hazel works good.. Did you say Uwharrie? If your talking about The Uwharrie national forest I've been there many times.. Riding the trails on dirt bikes and camping.. Subbed

Hot water! Go in the shower put the water on it as hot as you can stand it, and apply the hot water to the itchy areas. It’s like magic. You’ll get at least two hours of relief. I had to go to work one day when I was covered with chigger bites. I was up all night the night before scratching couldn’t sleep, I was miserable! I took a hot shower before work I mean really hot. The water Hass to be scalding hot. It’s weird it doesn’t really burn you. All you feel is the relief from the itching. Even at work I was going to the bathroom every few hours and run the hot water on my feet and ankles.

Hi this is craig,..I use hand sanitizer,..seriously stops the itching in minutes,…also glass cleaners work that have alcohol in them ,..white Vinegar,..I heard works as well ,..however I’ve not used it on myself. enjoy!

What do you roll in the dirt?Do they jump on you?How do the get on you?

First time in my life this week my son and I have chigger bites and it's awful

Is there any place these damn things aren't?! I go to my back or front yard they're there, I go to a play ground they're there, I go to a football field they're there, I go to the f***ing yard just outside my son's school and they're there! Swear to God, man, these things could take the world if we're not careful!

I've always just put nail polish over the bites and it works wonders

Best thing stops itch instantly 10% Hydrocortisone cream or take sufficient anti histamines before going out

Can you try and keep the items still for a minute so my old old grandma can read it

Also internally Golden Seal and Echinacea drops in water help internally

something else that helps is nail polish!! it suffacates the chigger!! make sure it dries before putting cloth or something like that over it.

About how long ago?

I know yall are going to laugh but the hemmoroid cream Recticare works great.

how long does this last on our bodies 😞😞?

thank you I'll go to the Dr.

My husbands in the army and went to the field two months ago and still has bites all over his legs! Anyone know what I can do for him.

Papa town comfrey salve Works great All natural

I have one in my belly button and one on my stomach. It's so itchy!

Do the trigger bites scar? Will the discoloration go away?

I use toothpaste for fire ant bites. Works great.

Lye soap then apply nail polish remover instant long term relief😊

Anti itch cream and benadryl allergy medication to prevent permetherin.

I tried several things and found that Gold Bond ointment works pretty good.

He acts itchy

jeeez I thought these were fleas bites, I'm guessing its worser? I got like 5 on me right now, ill put some one and apply band aid over.

brother, não sei fala ingles, então fica dificil né! kkkkkk

Cover the chigger bite with nail polish. The chigger will die from lack of oxygen in about a day or two.

I use clear nail polish pain it on and it stop itching because chiggers are death.

Put ammonia on the bites_ It helps a lot

I used powdered Himalayan Sea Salt (use a mortar & pestle) , with just enough WATER to make a paste & paste it over the bite with the back of a spoon and then cover it with a homemade band-aid, using 3m Micropore tape (glue doesn't aggravate the skin or remove skin when pulling it off) and a square of paper towel/toilet paper for the middle & then wet/dampen this square. The bite stops itching in 15 seconds after application & may require another application the next day. The Chigger bite will now heal up within a week typically, instead of 2 weeks to a month & a lot less scarring. If you can hit the bite right after you get, it could heal up in 2 days time, so keep some powder salt around you always. What you're essentially doing is, is the killing the bacteria the Chigger injected into you, while it was feeding on your blood...it's the same method flies & spiders use to eat their prey/food. Vaseline is a toxic substance and you really shouldn't even put it on your skin, let alone if you have an open wound, like a Chigger bite. Hope this helps EVERYONE, because the invention of the Chigger, was CERTAINLY a SCREW-UP/MISTAKE made by GOD himself, which I'm sure he'd admit to if asked..LOL! Peace All

Sounds like great stuff for pain relief! But if you want those suckers dead, which in return stops the itching altogether, put a layer of nail polish on top of the bites if they are still young it won't burn at all. Let the nail polish dry and leave it on your wound for around 3 three hours or half the day to suffocate the little demons. Then remove the dry nail polish by peeling it off, 9/10 you will see the little black dot on the peeled off nail polish, that's the dead chigger.

Jimmy I use a free software you can find on cnet downloads called VSDC. It pretty good and easy to use. You will have to be careful about music though. If it is from, let's say a band on the radio, you have to have permission to use it. Something you created is fine. Just a heads up just in case KZfaq flags it. BTW, I got a GoPro hero 4!! Can't wait to put it to use!

Why not put the salt and Vaseline on then cover with a bandaid.

Clear nail polish is the best fix.

I have what would be a severe case all over my body. I used blue listerine, instant relief and stay on once it dried. Had to reapply after showering

in 4th grade, I had over 100, I wanted to fucking die
