I ended up taking a soak in a saltbath, then rubbing apple cider vinegar all over my legs, then putting some antihistimine cream on top. The itch went away almost instantly, has not come back, and the bites all seem to be drying up and healing. Hope this helps the next person!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657057626513415110.post-20965872851622656052011-11-15T17:24:42.726-05:002011-11-15T17:24:42.726-05:00This was a bad case of chiggers that lasted a cpl ...This was a bad case of chiggers that lasted a cpl of monthsJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967445220516599195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657057626513415110.post-39444298557208539562011-11-15T11:10:07.223-05:002011-11-15T11:10:07.223-05:00my Lil boy is almost 2 and he has the same thing i...my Lil boy is almost 2 and he has the same thing i have took him to ER after ER his doc and no one can tell me what this is my son is on so much meds that he is sleeping all day if you find out want this is plz let me no I have been going on with this for 3 month dose any one in you house have the same thing i am just scared something bad is wrong with him.kaylanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657057626513415110.post-3282549791611190272011-08-25T10:54:55.217-04:002011-08-25T10:54:55.217-04:00I have one or two of these but i havent been anywh...I have one or two of these but i havent been anywhere, just in england where there aren't any chiggers.

Nothing seemed to completely work I did use the nail polish trick and it did seem to help temporarily I do believe they were chigger bites. They took forever to completely go away I have scares from some of them. I didn't find any of the chigger over the counters helped. I never went to the Dr in hindsight I probably should've I ended up w/ well over 400 of them and emotionally it was very hard for me Please let me know how you made outJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967445220516599195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657057626513415110.post-32906646043845303832011-05-15T07:38:12.273-04:002011-05-15T07:38:12.273-04:00I came about this site looking at pictures of inse...I came about this site looking at pictures of insect bites trying to find something that matched mine. I know this was from a year ago, but i have the same looking stuff. a TON of bumps from my ankles all the way up to my thighs. way too many for it to be mosquitos, like you said, and, also like you said, i think i would have noticed bedbugs when i tore my bed apart looking and washing. I ruled out fleas because those are supposed to have small red centers. My dr doesn't open until monday so it would just be extremely helpful if you could post anything that happened or anything that helped. I'm also alternating between taking benadryll and slathering on anti-itch gels. anything would help, thanks!Beenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657057626513415110.post-76094018170673119762010-08-15T19:54:54.786-04:002010-08-15T19:54:54.786-04:00Good luck!

Nothing worse than itching. The fact you were in the woods sounds like chiggers.

Are you having solar toximia. I am allergic to the sun certain times of the year, if you don't have them where you were covered, that could be it. They itch like crazy. Take an antihistimine and see if it helps..

Get some Chiggerid at Wal-Mart and apply it to each bump. (Yeah I know that's a lot of bumps) If you can't find chiggerid then get some clear fingernail polish (it doesn't have to be clear but it looks better) and put that on the top of each bump. Relief should come soon. Good luck sister.<br /><br />Hugs XX<br />Barbara<br />Moore WhimsiesCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175780917400149556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657057626513415110.post-21363167373195455342010-08-14T19:35:50.305-04:002010-08-14T19:35:50.305-04:00Oh Jo, you poor thing, I wish I could help you!
