Discover how to treat chigger bites before you get them.

If you think you know everything or nothing that is to be known on how cure chigger bites, read this article to remove your confusion.

Chigger Bite Time is at hand and you best hurry or you will miss the train. Actually this is a train you will want to miss. There is not much time to prepare for this years harvest of the infamous Harvest Mite, known as the Chigger and mite and Red Bug.

Chiggers are now busy laying eggs that will be hatching in a few days. It those larvae that will soon be causing you problems. So now is the time to prepare. Now is the time to stop the Chigger life cycle while you can.

The best chigger remedy is pretty much chigger avoidance. So, how do you avoid them? Chiggers love places that hold moisture like decaying leaves and old rotting woodpiles. Chiggers need to keep hydrated, so they love to hang out in disturbed forest areas that are moist and warm. In short any place that rabbits, mice and rodents like to hang out you may find chiggers.

Keep your lawn mowed short and the vegetation trimmed back from areas where you will travel or hang out. Get rid of all those old leaf piles, NOW. If you can eliminate those early hatchers you will get a long head start on minimizing a chigger problem in your area.

There are also sprays you can use on the yard. A natural solution of soap and water sprayed in your use areas shortly before use helps to keep chiggers at bay. For maximum control do this every week for about three weeks to catch all of the chigger’s life cycles.

Information is infinite and any claim of having all the information on any given topic should always be taken with a pinch of salt. To continue…

…Do not let chiggers quarantine you to your home. Dress for the occasion you can minimize the effect chiggers have on you. Isn’t that what you really want anyway?

• Wear boots and tuck your pants inside and inside your socks as well. Wear light colored clothes. Chiggers like dark things. Like dark, moist places. Speaking of dark moist places, where is yours? You got it. Arm pits, inside your panties, around your sock tops and around your belt line. I can guarantee that the one place you don’t want these little freeloaders in that dark, moist place inside your panties.

There is also commercial chigger repellents to help to keep chiggers at bay. Some are natural and some are not. It is my personal preference to not put anything on my skin that I would not put in my mouth. Your skin is the biggest organ of the body. It will absorb just about anything that you put on it.

Put those unnatural repellents on your clothes, ONLY. DEET is the most popular repellent and it can last for several hours. There are some natural repellents like citronella but it does not last long.

There are one or two more things you might want to do for chigger remedies.

When you get home from your romps in the woods, get out of your clothes quickly. Do not park on your couch and watch that latest edition of American Idol. Do not sit or lounge on your bed, even briefly. If you do, you just might find your friends waiting patiently for you right where you left them when you do go to bed.

• Get your clothes into the laundry fast and wash them in hot, hot water for about 30 minutes. Then get yourself into the shower and get your self washed up. You will want to get anything that is hitch hiking washed off immediately if not sooner.

So what do you do if you do get bit and get bit you will? Forget the wives tales of finger nail polish. It just makes for stylish spots on your body. And forget about Clorox i.e. bleach and paint thinner baths and such, if you value your health that is. Antihistamines help with the itch a bit, but don’t count on it too much. DO NOT use such things as turpentine, gasoline, alcohol, ice picks and definitely do not use matches after using gasoline or alcohol.

And do not even think about not scratching. That is just not going to happen.

So, what is this chigger cure? Avoid the places chiggers like to hang out to start with. Then dress accordingly. Wash yourself and your clothes.

Now, go enjoy your summer.

Oh, did I mention don’t forget to treat that car seat you rode home in from your favorite wooded haunt?
