I got em in Texas from a cow pasture, I couldn't believe how tiny mites that you can barely see can cause so much discomfort and itching. It is said that for their size they have the worst bite.
Has anyone out there had a chigger experience? What are the remedies? Once you have had a run in with a chigger you will never forget it, that's a fact.
Does anyone have a link to find out the recommended cures or information on these mites?

Use Chigger Block... its non toxic, deet free and it rocks. I used it all of last year and I stayed bite free. They say it works on ticks too but ticks are not my problem. Chiggers make huge welts all over my legs and arms. Yuck. I use it for bites and the dreaded itching those little buggers cause when I forget to put the stuff on. I put the salve on any bites and then grit my teeth to not itch for about a couple of minutes and then whala the itching is gone. I have to reapply it after about six hours but who cares! I sound like a geek but the sh*% has changed my life. All I can say when I wear it is I don't get bit and I don't have to worry side effects like the nasty stuff. You can chigger block online but it is called chigrblok. Good luck~

wow I woke up every 3 hours scratching all over, I used gold bond anti itch, but, it didn't last very long, it was one of the worst experiences in my life, they get up everywhere, I heard they bite you and die, I sure hope so.
