i found natural itch releif for chiggers!!
dh got about 75 chigger bites in the last week(i said 60 in another thread, but he has more now). he scratched himself bloody. we tried nail polish, but it wasnt really working. well, someone here told me theives oil for the itch. i went to my HFS, but they didnt carry it. they did tell me about this product http://www.vitacost.com/Boiron-Bitec...id|54296984011 . it says its homeopathic. it does sodium hydroxide though. but it works!!
it also worked on a mosquito bite i had. now, i just need to make sure dh doesnt get a staph infection from all his open wounds from where he scratched so hard. he's had staph a few times in the past.... |

I like Boiron. I use their arnica gel. Tomorrow I'll be near a Vitamin Shoppe, I'll have to see if they have any. Thank you!

Re: i found natural itch releif for chiggers!!
Thanks for sharing! Garlic is supposed to be good against staph infections. I've used it to heal boils more than once. The easiest way is just to peel a fresh clove and slice it in half and apply it to the affected area.
