For the love of God, what's your chigger remedy???

One more thing to remember when exposed to chiggers. If you don't take precautions to kill the chiggers that get in the seat covers of your vehicle after riding in it after being exposed to chiggers they will eat you alive the next day. Learned this from first hand experience, not pleasant to deal with.

Pharmacist told me first kill the ones on you.Take a shower and use a shampoo made to kill .Then if bad enough see a dr for cortisone shot.I have scars on ankles and legs from those little red bastards.But the lice shampoo really works at killing them

Hmm. That might explain some new bites I didn"t remember having...

Acetone, burns at first but will dry the bites out

That actually crossed my mind, but I didn't try.

 

Would get the nail polish off too

You could also hit yourself in the forehead with a framing hammer. If you do it right, the bites will quit itching. Repeat as necessary.
