I got a ridiculous case of the chiggers in Zone 16 last week, probably bad enough to keep me out of the woods for now. Got them last year, but not even close to this year. Anyone have any tips? I don't seem to good at avoiding them!

I don't know but they seem fearful this year. I'm being conservative with 200 bites last weekend. I'm going with old school british navy treatment.....good dark RUM in vast quantities taken orally will cure anything. The itching is fearful still at least go until your legs numb. __________________ Fat Cat Sportfishing ˙˙˙ssɐ ʎɯ ssıʞ uɐɔ plɹoʍ ǝloɥʍ ǝɥʇ os 'uʍop ǝpısdn ǝɯ ʎɹnq ʎǝɥʇ ǝdoɥ ı

dawnpatrol... I work the same hours, and planned on hunting every day from about 7-3, but now I think I'm done until 21 opens up. This is just too much. and I have WAY more than 200 bites, probably up near 500, no joke.

Does Thermacell work on chiggers? __________________ Here (risking your wry and deprecatory look) is the point of the whole matter. All that we have considered hitherto is but the vehicle.

I use Duranon repellant(they make it for dogs too). It has never spooked a deer on me and I haven't been bitten by anything since I've been using it. You spray it all over your clothes and shoes and let it dry. It works great.
