Are chigger bites really that bad?!


Question: Are chigger bites really that bad!?
If you want a preview of hell, here's what you do!. Find yourself a balmy July morning in Arkansas!. Lie down in a shady spot in the tall grass and have yourself about a four hour nap!. When you wake up, go down to the sporting goods store and buy yourself a pistol and one bullet, because that's the only cure for chiggers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OK, I'll bite, why did you do something you knew to be a completely stupid thing to do!? Chiggers, by the way, are little bloodsuckers which are related to the common flea and other bloodsucking insects like ticks!. They burrow into the skin!.!.!. Think about that for a moment!.!.!. an insect literally digging into your skin, digging a little tunnel and crawling inside, and then eating, eating, eating!.!.!. Any sunburn lotion used to relieve pain from sunburn applied every couple or three hours will relieve the itch and kill the buggers as they can't go that long without air and the lotion will cover the air holes they use to breathe and being SO tiny, it does not take all that long, unlike a cockroach which can go for over a day underwater and still survive!.!.!. How does it feel to be the host for a parasite!? Anything which can be used to "seal" the skin will work to kill off the buggers by cutting off the air to the insect, which is why nail polish works but is a very expensive way to go, so go with the cheapest stuff which will seal the skin, even something as simple as petroleum jelly!. I only suggested sunburn creme or lotion as that contains a pain reliever which relieves the pain and itch at the same time as sealing the skin surface!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Chiggers are tiny bugs that actually burrow under our skin and feed off of our flesh!. I had them a couple of times on my legs!. The only cure I could find was putting clear nail polish over the spots, which suffocated them and I quit itching in a couple of days!.
