damn that just sounds like one experience i do not want

 

best trick i learned from the zone 16 boys was bring a lint roller with u and when u get to your stand and leave lint roll your self. it works. i dont have one bite on me and when i lint rolled myself i had five sheets of the lint roller filled with those nasty things. i have one in my bag now and 2 for back up. they suck and im scared to get them..lol

 

dude i been getting them once a week,, they are out in full force this year [cry][cry][cry]

 

PICS???? For educational puposes of course[hihi]

 

I feel your pain, I got em to but not that bad[cry]I bought this spray called Cortaid at cvs and it works ok to help stop the itch. The only cure is time.

 

Dont worry it gets worse.....The itch is the worst about 4 days into it....Then the scabs come because you scratched yourself raw.

 

I forgot to mention WHISKEY helps to if they keep you up itchen [smoke]

 

Extra Strength Ben-Gay . Helps the itch just do not get it on you know what [eek]

 

Preperation-H.....dries them out, shrinks them up. Do yourself a favor.....DONT ITCH

 

did you notice how they dont itch that bad until you lay down in bed at night,or when you scratch right though your skin to the bloody muscle on your ankles it itches worse than when you started scratching[cry]

So far Ive been putting anti itch gel and its been working pretty good. We will see what happens tonight .

 

WOW that sucks John [down]

 

My Dad got them real bad one year.....you can always call your Dr. they'll prescibe a steroid creme that clears them up pretty quick, otherwise you just gotta deal the best you can[cry][cry]

 

Do the chiggers stay on your clothes. I wore my hunting pants in the house when I got home last night. I did go straight to the basement laundy room and took the off.

 

I itch my ankles in my sleep with my toenails....

 

LoL scratch, I'm still a chigger virgin sorry to hear JR about your plight[eek]

 

Had a few on my Saturday, too. I lint rolled those b*stards right off. Not one bite.[up][up]

Sorry to hear you have itching problems.

 

Yeah John they can be on your clothes, or on your self,,

 

jr I feel for ya man. I had never even heard of chiggers untill I found this site. We always had ticks. I hope I never get chiggers...

 

Once bitten they are no longer on you. The inching is from the saliva they leave in your skin from the bite.

 

Welcome to zone 16. It's something you have to get used to in the early season.

 

Clothes should be OK if you wash them. Sounds like you'll be pickin chiggers off you for a couple of days. It happened to me last year, God awful experience. I had them from my waist down, definetly NOT good around the private areas. Good luck John, I feel for you brother.

 

My buddy shot a deer in Zone 16 last evening and we where on our hands and knees for 2 hours until we found it last night.
The chiggers got me good. Itchy as hell.

Been there done that....get yourself a lint roller....i promise, it works
