DH has been in the woods doing and he has chiggers. I bought him Chigger-X but it's not cutting it. Any suggestions?

I've heard that too. I'm gonna get some for him at lunch today. I hope it works. I see him itching and then it makes me itch.
Thanks!

Chigger bites
Picture of a chigger biteChigger bites are insanely itchy and swell into raised red welts that can last for a couple of weeks before subsiding. As difficult as it may be, resist scratching these bites - they can become infected. Instead, apply something that will limit their exposure to air. Several possibilities that people have reported success with are:
Clear nail polish
Green tea extract
Calamine lotion
Hydrocortisone cream

"If you do not feel sure the hot soapy bathing removed the chiggers, you may apply petroleum jelly to the bitten area. This will suffocate the tiny mite. Some people have also said that applying a drop of fingernail polish to the bite will have the same effect, but this is not advisable to sensitive skin or small children."

When we were little, I had a cousin who used clear nail polish. It worked!

They bite you, can fall off or they can stay attached and continue to feed. Finger nail polish smothers the infected area, which stops not only any chigger from continuing to feed on you, but also (mentally perhaps) stops the itching as bad. It's also harder to scratch at something under nail polish. Scratching makes everything worse.DoWhat said:

Chigger-RID worked for me! Used Chigger-X as well. They both work pretty well.
