[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 548405, member: 2211"] Myths About Chiggers: One of the biggest myths or misconceptions about chiggers is that they can burrow under your skin and drink your blood. This leads to the common treatment for chiggers of putting clear nail polish on chigger bites to suffocate the chiggers. Since chiggers don't actually burrow under your skin, this 'treatment' is unnecessary. Treatments for Chigger Bites: anything that can help control the itching can be helpful, including: take a bath or shower as soon as possible after any possible exposure to chiggers apply your favorite OTC anti-itch medication, such as hydrocortisone, Calamine lotion, Sarna, oatmeal baths, etc., oral Benadryl, a prescription strength steroid cream. Although chiggers in North America don't usually carry any diseases, the bites themselves can get infected. [/QUOTE]
