How To Stop Chigger Bite Itch?

According to a University of Florida website, you can kill the chiggers with a hot bath and lots of scrubbing with soap.  In fact, it is a good idea to do this when you get back from an outdoor adventure to kill them before they bite you.  Stop the itch before it happens!Also, you can suffocate them by using nail polish on every bite.  It will form a nice seal and kill them. To alleviate the pain you may be feeling right now, try a local anesthetic from a drug store.  Also, you might try rubbing meat tenderizer into the bites.  Apparently this has been known to help relieve that awful urge to scratch (which can cause infections).  Good luck!
