A bath in baking soda helped my son after a camping trip - he was covered in them. They are tenny tiny insects, and contrary to belief they do not burrow, they bite, get a blood meal, and leave. They concentrate at the edges of shirts , shorts, pants, socks. The itching can last for days and days.
OTC hydrocortisone helps.
