Treating chiggers: Chiggers are nasty little bugs that emerge in the spring & love to to bore into the skin surface along beltlines.I've had some success using topocal oily preparations, wd40 works for me, applied directly to the bite site.It releaves some of the itching quickly. I've had some mos report using baby oil the same way.A cold compress over any itching site decreases that sensation almost immediately.
