What can you do for chigger bites?


Question:
my sons legs are covered with them

Answers:
Paint them with clear fingernail polish. The little buggers are alive and living under the skin, this kills them.

Give him benedryl orally for the itching.

I once used red polish on myself when I had nothing else and was desperate!
There is a cream made especially for chigger bites, I think it is called chigger-x, or something like that. Works great, stops the itching right away.
