Default RE: How to stop chiggers?

FYI guys.

For those of us that have already been infested with these menacing devils, I have found a home remedy that dries up the affected area much faster than steriod shots, benadryl, or hydrocortisone. Oxy pads. That's right, whatever that active ingredient is in there for drying up acne, also dries up the sore left behind by a 'harvest mite', 'chigger', 'redbug', or any other name for these vermin.

DO NOT use bleach, turpentine or any other harsh chemical or scalding hot water, unless you just want to be permanantly scarred with a chemical burn. Some really bad ideas for remedies out there!
