chiggers!!!!!

[sea scape]

When both of my sons would get the little itchy bastards on their .... ummm.. shall we say their very delicate areas.. I would tell them to get into the shower and slooooowly turn off the cold until they are in water so hot they can barely stand it.. stay in the water for a little bit .. once they got out out the itching would be gone... I guess it would scaled the little bugs. Never seemed to have the problem of getting chiggers on me... lucky I guess.

INGREDIENTS:
Camphor 2.8%
Phenol 1.5%
Menthol 0.1%
Also Contains: Collodion and Oil of Eucalyptus

You can get it at Eckerd, CVS or Walgreens.

Try it.. It works... I get them everytime I go into the fields around home... Not always in the best places either

My understanding is that the bite area is where they have bitten you (they turn your flesh/cells into mush and suck it out ) There is nothing in there to get out... The 'bug' is long gone...

Good Luck! I don't envy you

I've had luck with 1/2 bottle of green rubbing alcohol in a HOT bathtub, soak for 15 min., after drying off splash liberally with green rubbing alcohol (while your pores are open) let evaporate off of skin. Something with the menthol gets them. Good luck. Just typing this makes me itch
