A friend told us this story when he has in the high school band in Texas... it was a hot day and the coach worked them out... he got the chiggers that day... on his SCROTUM!



Oh, man, that's the worst place or anywhere in that vicinity!
Plenty of chiggers where i'm at, too. I have to spray some kind of deet on my feet and legs just to go into the yard even if it's cut short, but i don't use the spray that much.
I've scratched until bloody, too, but then it will still itch, so i end up irritating a bloody wound on top of it.
We use a cream called (oddly enough), Anti-Itch Cream, the generic Equate brand is cheaper than some. It's easy to use, but sometimes you gotta keep applying it. But, it does help quell the itch. Chiggers...really get under my skin.
