I think bleach kills everything!

Definately use with poison ivy,chiggers, seed ticks, aids, cancer, strokes, and herpes!

Get him about 3-4 bottles of rubbing alcohol and wash down thoroughly. Burns like heck,but will help. Chiggers are bad news, if you have never had them or heard of em,be grateful. Also known as no seeums cause there so small. I believe they only have 1 tooth,but it is 3" long...

You can buy some chigarid.It will help a lot.You can also use fingernail polish.it is supposed to cut the air off from the chiggar so it cant breath and it will die sooner.I got them not to long ago and I had over 50 of them on me.I had them every where as well.I got a couple bottles of chigarid and some anti itch gel.You can use something like Ivy dry also.The chigarid will burn a little on the open bumps but it seems to heal them faster if they are a little open when you apply it.
I have also taken a bath in bleach water.it burns a little at first but you want it to.i took a loofa sponge to open up the chggar bumps before getting in or even while in the bleach water.Like I said it will burn a little but it will dry them out quicker.

The bleach idea seems to by helping. I though Kieth was going to die when that bleach hit his skin. Ya'll are right about the pain. (that'll teach him not to listen to me) I better knock on wood 'for I get 'em. He says thank you, I think. He's yelling again. Oh, well. God bless this forum for it's wisdom and humor. Later ya'll!

Clear fingernail polish. Seriously. It suffocates them.

Chiggers are alive and well way north of the mason-dixon, I'm in South Dakota and have had my fair share! Always took a hot bath, had pink crap put all over them and then realized they were going to itch anyway!

Completely agree. When I go fishing in shorts and fish where the grass is mowed right to the bank, I ALWAYS see fish hitting the top about 20 yards into the tall stuff. I never can help myself. But I will take a bath in clorox and then use the clear fingernail polish (on my chigger bites of course). It works pretty well. Good luck with it.

Go to the store and get some Chigirid or put clear finger nail polish on them.
