How to stop the itch of chigger bites?
#21
Thanks for all the advice! I went with nail polish because this is what I have tried in the past and it worked. But I will remember all the other great ideas too if I missed any of the bites. They even got me on the back of my knees.

when i was on active duty, we'd spend weeks at a time in the woods. major league chigger time. i'd swallow two tablespoons of vinegar every morning. no chigger bites. not many mosquito or gnat bites, either.

Great idea! I was taking Vinegar at one time and just kinda quit doing so. The mosquitoes wear me out. Do you use regular old Apple Cider Vinegar or do you use the organic? I was going to use the organic until I priced it...$$$.

i'm not a fan of organic.
i used plain white vinegar. i suppose any kind would do.

I cannot believe mu luck....yesterday I walked off the road by my house and picked some wild plums and then a little while later I went on to work, no problem. When I got home this morning I took a shower and have not stopped itching since. CHIGGERS!!! I've been trying to sleep all day and couldn't because of the itch. Thank goodness I took a look on here. Once again I can thank you all
