Posted: 9/1/04 at 1:14pmI went on a picnic and got a horrible case of chiggers. Anyone know of some home remedies? I'm just festering! Help!
PEACE.

I've forgotten, since it's been years since I've had to use it!

Posted: 9/1/04 at 1:23pmDo you mean Curel? I tried that, no help. But my skin sure is moist now, and I am out of kleenex.
PEACE.

Posted: 9/1/04 at 1:26pmWTF go to a medical website where you can look up cures. We know Broadway, not chiggers----and this is disgusting.

That's okay. I realized I posted on the main board, but thought the Powers that be would have moved it by now.
So, any advice?

Posted: 9/1/04 at 1:39pmMy friend says that if you put rubbing alcholhol then clear nail polish on them to kill them- that may be an old wives cure, but maybe it's worth a try.

Keep the area clean with soap and water and apply calamine lotion to control the itching. Try not to scratch much as you can easily cause a secondary infection. Hydrocortisone might help as well. You could also try taking some Benadryl to help releave the itching.
