Was gonna edit that with an actual response after I did some research but you beat me to it! Heres what I found from a google search (treatment): This washes off any chiggers that are still on you. Using hot water, wash your clothes and any blankets or towels that touched the ground to kill any bugs that are still hanging on. Then treat your bites with an over-the-counter anti-itch cream or ointment, like menthol, calamine lotion, or hydrocortisone. Getting rid of em: The best way to get rid of chiggers is to deprive them of their hiding places. Mow the lawn and landscape those bushes. It'll deter not only the bugs but also some of the animals that transmit them, Hartzer says. Clearing tall weeds, grasses, and brambles is a simple but effective way of denying them of the shelter, shade, and moisture they like. When you do go outside, make sure you wear insect repellent as well. Wearing the right clothing tucked-in long pants and shirts can also help keep chiggers off your skin. --- Stay in drugs don't do school ... Copied to Clipboard! |
