Chiggers

i got bit by some weird ass bug like 2 years ago and i had to cut the bit open and poor rubbing alcohol in/on it(huge bite, some costa rican bug). try it if it gets THAT bad.
 
When I read the title I was thinking chigger was an asian that acts black.

Many home remedies for chigger bites, like painting the bite with nail polish, involve the idea of smothering an embedded chigger. But by the time you notice the bite, you've often brushed or scratched away the chigger already. The reason nail polish makes some people's bites feel better is that it seals the bite from air. Over-the-counter creams that relieve itching often do a better job of making the bites feel better. It's also a good idea to apply an antiseptic, especially if you've scratched the bite extensively -- too much scratching can lead to a secondary infection. If you're bitten, don't be tempted to try home remedies involving toxic substances, and don't try to remove the stylostome -- either could cause secondary infections or other injuries

chiggers are nasty fuckers. my dad got em from work. those fuckers are nasty, takes a while to go away too. sorry to tell ya that
 
if youre a super bad survival man than im sure you carry hand sanitizer in a little convenient bottle, containing isopropyl alcohol, scratch the fuck out of the bites for like 5 seconds, then cover in hand sanitizer, it will burn like crazy, but no more itchy

tis the method i use for mosquitos, chiggers, and the godless sandflea
