I've always heard that whereas a mosquito bites you and flies away, a chigger actually crawls into your skin (sounds gross) to feed off you, which is what causes the itching...they're still in there! If you put some clear finger nail polish on the chigger bite, that is supposed to suffocate them and stop the itching. It's worked for me before. It's worth a try anyway...anything to avoid a shot! |
