When chiggers get your jewels, it may be days, but the misery seems to last for a lifetime.

Haven't had a case of chiggers since I was a kid. Got them so often I now think I am immune. A few days of pure heck.. I remember dumping alcohol on them thinking anything was better than itching. Don't do that.

I tuck my pant legs into my snake boots and wrap duct tape around the top of my boots and pant legs. I also wear an undershirt tucked in under my outtershirt and hose down with Off. Since I've started doing this I haven't gotten chiggers.

If you so happen to get into chiggers all you have to do is put a cap full of bleach into a hot bath and soak for 15 min. Might be a good idea to do anyway before slipping in the bed. Helps keep the misses off your tail.

For Chiggers and Ticks I drink Apple Cider Vinegar the night before and every day I am in the woods. Just an ounce or so will keep them off you. Was told this many years ago by a surveyor and I have not had a chigger or tick on me since. I find the best Apple Cider Vinegar to be White House or the Walmart brand-Great Value.
