RE: CSchiggers

Hi Neville,

What do the veggies do?

May one eat it or use for cooking after the treatment? 

Is that a one time fix or how often do you apply? 

Never heard of it but it sounds good and cheap and easy, so it could be  
a winner. 

OK,
Tony

By the way, Do you know how to make genuine turpentine from trees? What 
the actual process is?

Re: CSchiggers

[Ode Coyote]

 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.

Soak in a tub of  warm/hot water with 3 cups Epsom salt added for at least 
20 minutes.  This even works for poison ivy but you may have to do it 2 or 
3 days.

laughing I spose one could cook em up after.

 

Hi Tony,

 

I don't even know what a 'chigger' is?

 

Seriously though, for insect bites or such we rub the juice on the site for 
relief of pain etc.

 

I guess the acid or whatever in the onion or tommie does something to the bite, 
sting or 'toxin?' to  neutralise it.

 

I've no idea if it will work in this case but it's certainly worth a try, 
nothing to lose.  I know it works for stings, as two of my kids can testify 
when they were toddlers many moons ago.

I know heat works well for mosquito bites.  Maybe it would work for
the chigger bites.

Heat as hot as you can stand without burning yourself, of course,
until the itch is gone.

On a Heartland series last week they were out in the field. The guy with

were chiggers.  They were reasonably easy to see on the TV and the host 
said he could see them, but they were very small.

RE: CSchiggers

[Norton, Steve]

Probably not.

http://www.ehow.com/about_4566530_chiggers.html
Chiggers range from Central Mexico to Canada. They prefer fields that are 
filled with grass or weeds. There is a species of chigger in the Pacific 
Islands and in Eastern Asia that is a vector for Japanese River Fever.



You will know them if you ever run across them.

http://insects.suite101.com/article.cfm/chiggers_parasitic_mites
What are chigger mites?
The group of mites collectively known as chigger mites includes a wide range of 
genera and species distributed over the tropical and temperate regions of the 
globe. In North America, the species most commonly encountered is Trombicula 
alfreddugesi. Like spiders and scorpions, mites are arachnids; adults have four 
pairs of legs. The adults of the various chiggers feed on invertebrates (worms, 
snails etc.) and are seldom noticed, but the larvae are parasitic on mammals, 
birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and cause great discomfort when they feed on 
humans.

How do people get chiggers?
Chigger mite larvae hatch from eggs deposited in the environment, usually in 
tall grasses, brushy areas, swamps and bogs, and other localities where plant 
growth is low and thick. The microscopic larvae wait in the low vegetation and 
climb onto any animal or human moving through the area near them. On people, 
the larvae tend to migrate to areas where the clothing is snug - under 
waistbands, under the tops of socks, or where a backpack presses against the 
skin, for example.

Chigger bites
Chigger mites neither burrow under the skin nor suck blood. Instead, they 
attach to the skin and inject a substance that creates a pool of liquid 
nutrients by dissolving and liquefying the skin cells. The host's immune system 
responds by trying to create a barrier between the affected cells and healthy 
cells - a tiny tubular hole called a stylostome forms in the skin with the 
larva in the center, still drawing liquefied food from the tissues below the 
bite as though sucking through a straw.

Most people have no idea they've been invaded by microscopic mite larvae while 
they were out in the woods and fields. For the lucky few, there will be no 
after-effects: not all chigger mites cause discomfort and not all individuals 
react to the bites. For many however, days of suffering are just beginning. 
About twenty-four hours after the initial bite, a red raised lesion appears, 
often with a fluid filled blister-like center. The mite is still present; it 
will eventually drop off if allowed to finish its meal but many are killed at 
this stage when the host scratches. The intensely itchy bite progresses over 
the next few days, becoming larger, turning slightly bluish like a bruise and 
crusting over. Scratching may lead to secondary infection of the lesions.

The agony of chigger bites is usually limited to the unbearable discomfort and 
occasional secondary infection; however, some chiggers are known to carry 
diseases. Leptotrombidium sp. chiggers in Japan, Southeast Asia, and nearby 
countries carry an organism that causes scrub typhus, or tsutsugamushi disease, 
a serious infection that is occasionally fatal.

Chiggers (Red Bugs) don't just bite.  They burrow into the skin and stay
there feeding.
That's why oils, Vicks, Baths, and Nail Polish work.  They suffocate them.
They are red, and cause a Red Bump on the skin...

Would keeping it moist with CS/EIS -DMSO 70/30,
or 90/10, be a way of dealing with it at all? or suffocating is the best
way?

  Soak in a tub of  warm/hot water with 3 cups Epsom salt added for at

Chiggers range from Central Mexico to Canada. They prefer fields
that are filled with grass or weeds. There is a species of chigger
in the Pacific Islands and in Eastern Asia that is a vector for
Japanese River Fever.



You will know them if you ever run across them.

http://insects.suite101.com/article.cfm/chiggers_parasitic_mites
What are chigger mites?
The group of mites collectively known as chigger mites includes a
wide range of genera and species distributed over the tropical and
temperate regions of the globe. In North America, the species most
commonly encountered is Trombicula alfreddugesi. Like spiders and
scorpions, mites are arachnids; adults have four pairs of legs.
The adults of the various chiggers feed on invertebrates (worms,
snails etc.) and are seldom noticed, but the larvae are parasitic
on mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and cause great
discomfort when they feed on humans.

How do people get chiggers?
Chigger mite larvae hatch from eggs deposited in the environment,
usually in tall grasses, brushy areas, swamps and bogs, and other
localities where plant growth is low and thick. The microscopic
larvae wait in the low vegetation and climb onto any animal or
human moving through the area near them. On people, the larvae
tend to migrate to areas where the clothing is snug - under
waistbands, under the tops of socks, or where a backpack presses
against the skin, for example.

Chigger bites
Chigger mites neither burrow under the skin nor suck blood.
Instead, they attach to the skin and inject a substance that
creates a pool of liquid nutrients by dissolving and liquefying
the skin cells. The host's immune system responds by trying to
create a barrier between the affected cells and healthy cells - a
tiny tubular hole called a stylostome forms in the skin with the
larva in the center, still drawing liquefied food from the tissues
below the bite as though sucking through a straw.

Most people have no idea they've been invaded by microscopic mite
larvae while they were out in the woods and fields. For the lucky
few, there will be no after-effects: not all chigger mites cause
discomfort and not all individuals react to the bites. For many
however, days of suffering are just beginning. About twenty-four
hours after the initial bite, a red raised lesion appears, often
with a fluid filled blister-like center. The mite is still
present; it will eventually drop off if allowed to finish its meal
but many are killed at this stage when the host scratches. The
intensely itchy bite progresses over the next few days, becoming
larger, turning slightly bluish like a bruise and crusting over.
Scratching may lead to secondary infection of the lesions.

The agony of chigger bites is usually limited to the unbearable
discomfort and occasional secondary infection; however, some
chiggers are known to carry diseases. Leptotrombidium sp. chiggers
in Japan, Southeast Asia, and nearby countries carry an organism
that causes scrub typhus, or tsutsugamushi disease, a serious
infection that is occasionally fatal.

Re: CSchiggers

What makes you think they go into the skin?  I have opened many a 
pustule, and nothing there but pus.  Frankly I am skeptical of such 
claims without any evidence or proof, and I dowse it as being 100% false..


http://mdc.mo.gov/nathis/arthopo/chiggers/
Folklore tells us they burrow under our skin and die, that they drink 
our blood and that they can best be killed by suffocation with nail 
polish or bathing with bleach, alcohol, turpentine or salt water. 
Surprisingly, all these popular facts are just plain wrong.


http://www.howstuffworks.com/question488.htm
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.


http://pediatrics.about.com/od/dermatologytopics/a/06_chiggers.htm
One of the biggest myths or misconceptions about chiggers is that they 
can burrow under your skin and drink your blood. This leads to the 
common treatment for chiggers of putting clear nail polish on chigger 
bites to suffocate the chiggers. Since chiggers don't actually burrow 
under your skin, this 'treatment' is unnecessary.


http://www.medicinenet.com/chiggers_bites/article.htm
A common myth about chiggers is that they burrow into and remain inside 
the skin. This is not true. Chiggers insert their feeding structures 
into the skin and inject enzymes 
http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=15392 that 
cause destruction of host tissue. Hardening of the surrounding skin 
results in the formation of a feeding tube called a stylostome.

still there. The Epsom salt will soothe all of that. I don't
know exactly the mechanism but it does. Last year I got into poison
ivy where the whole top of one foot was a zillion blisters. All I
thought about was scratching. I did a little research on the net
and found that the area is acidic so the soak pulls that out so I used ES
 hydrogen peroxide which adds oxygen and therefore bringing a more
alkaline balance to the area. By the third day, I was almost
well. No drugs, no over the counter stuff except ES and
peroxide. I buy ES by the 5 lb buckets because of all the things we
use it for.



Last year my grandson worked in boots in the heat last summer
and got some sort of rot on the bottom of one of his feet. It
looked as if the toes were rotting away from the foot. I used this
same approach and he was good to go in 3 days. It amazed even his
Mom who is an RN and his step dad who is a Nurse Practitioner. It
is all about the acid/alkaline thing. Oh, I did put coconut oil on
the effected after each

treatment to help create an alkaline barrier.

Soak in a tub of warm/hot water with 3 cups Epsom salt added
for at least 20 minutes. This even works for poison ivy but you may
have to do it 2 or 3 days.

ok then, just carry some lobelia with you.  This would probably kill the bugs 
also.  (alchohol)

They can do this, Day -- this is my husband's reaction to chiggers.  For me -- 
I just get the itchy red bump.  I think maybe the pustules are an allergic

Red Bugs don't make pustules.  You have something else...I live in 
Florida and spend a lot of time in the woods.  I have 70 years experience 
with them.

What makes you think they go into the skin?  I have opened many a pustule,

Cut an onion or tomato in half and rub that on.

I can't recall  having seen not even one here, not  ever.  We got plenty of 
other creepy crawlies though..lol.  Dabbing with vinegar? would that take the 
itch out of it? I am assuming that  a bite causes itching.

My husband came home from a trip with a nasty bunch of chigger bites all over. 
Anyone know of a remedy? Thanks,
