The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
When the itching gets to its worst, dab a little bit of rubbing alcohol on it. It'll sting like crazy but the pain will be a real relief from the itching.
My grandfather used to rub our legs down with diesel or kerosene to keep them away. I now use lots of DEET. <br /><br />these will make your mind go crazy....you can't stop itching!

Don't know if this will help or not, but, the 3rd time I got Chicken Pox, they gave me a pill called Aderex (Spelling??). It took the itch completely away.<br /><br />Hope this helps some.<br /><br />Craig
I like the ammonia aplicator. It does sting on bites if you have itched them open, but it works great on Mosquitos and won't bleach your clothes. We stock up every year with 5 or 6 of these and have them everywhere. Never had a chigger bite so can't say it would work. The stuff avaiable here is called After-bite. Works best if you put it on as soon as you get the bite. Watch out for imitations. Read the active ingredient to make sure it is just ammonia.
