Re: CSCS - Chiggers -local antihistamine - ant bites etc
The thing is that all one needs to do for anything that is red and itchy (not poisonous) is put some blue light on it and the itch will be gone. In some cases another dose of blue light might be required but that should do it.

Re: CSCS - Chiggers -local antihistamine - ant bites etc
It is nothing special. You can buy one... people have told me they purchased them as keychain lights. Or you can make one using a small flashlight with a piece of theatrical gel cut to fit the lens. Put the lens on the skin and turn on the light for a minute or so and then check to see if you need a little more time.

CSCS - Chiggers -local antihistamine - ant bites etc
Fw: Re: CSchiggers OK, time for my 2 cents worth. Edith, if your husband hyper releases histamine like I do a combination of all the suggestions previously offered will probably all help in some aspect AND you might break open a few capsules or dissolve tablets of diphenhydramine (Benadryl or generic) in as little water as possible duh how about in a little CS? --- and dab on the itchies - frequently---and repeatedly. This will help the histamine response only, but it does wonders for bites. I wonder how DMSO could figure in the mix as it might give better penetration and would also help the body resolve the inflammation process more rapidly. I like this local application of a super concentration antihistamine because it acts thoroughly and rapidly .and I don't have to nap all day from oral antihistamine. Further FYI - I also use white toothpaste on ant bites as soon as they happen, just smear a gob over the whole area and all the stinging stops as well as preventing the red,itchy pustules. We keep several tubes from the dollar store around the house and grab quickly if we or the grandkids inadvertently get into those stinging red ants. Works every time. If there are many, many bites you may need to apply the toothpaste, rub in well then wipe off with a wet cloth or under the faucet outside and apply a second coat of the white tooth paste. Ant bites feel worse than wasp stings to my hyper reactive self and the toothpaste really works on the pain as well as the sequale. OK, Ode, ...Why does the toothpaste and could add CS to the toothpaste mix here to keep on topic...and would the CS further neutralize the bite reaction? Is the bite acid and the calcium alkaline and penetrating like the ant venom to be able to neutralize it so quickly? Huh? Huh? Huh? To all the other CS'ers. Thanks for all the thought provocations, laughs and CS info, especially the CS info as I am still very much in the initial learning curve and ya'll are awesome in your knowledge and ability to answer questions! We are each a unique creation! Vive la différence. Paula in Palacios Re: CSchiggers Wednesday, June 23, 2010 4:42:50 AM From: Ode Coyote odecoy...@windstream.net To: silver-list@eskimo.com They aren't there TO suffocate. Chiggers bite, get their nutrients and leave. Epsom salt bath sounds likely..I'll keep than one in the file. Chiggers do not burrow under your skin, as many people believe, nor do they feed on animal blood. They actually feed on the fluids in skin cells. To get the fluids, they attach themselves to a skin pore or hair follicle and inject a digestive enzyme that ruptures the cells. The enzyme also hardens the surrounding skin tissue, forming a sort of straw for sucking the skin cell fluids. The whole process irritates the skin, causing an itchy red bump that continues to cause discomfort for several days. Chiggers are only about 1/50th of an inch (0.5 mm) in diameter and so are too small to be seen with the naked eye. This invisibility is the reason so many people believe chiggers burrow under the skin. One commonly known remedy for chigger bites is to apply nail polish to reduce itchiness. This does not kill the chigger or treat the bite in any way. It simply seals the area off from the air, which keeps the sore from itching so badly. If you want to apply something to relieve itching, it's much better to use a salve or cream that contains antihistamines (Caladryl or hydrocortisone salves are the most common). Like nail polish, these treatments will seal the bite from the surrounding air, but they will also help to prevent infection. If the welts continue to irritate you for more than a couple of weeks, they might be infected and you should see a doctor.
