Asking for for a friend

[akachuck]

Let's say you're on your daily run/walk and you see some woods that a relative owns and you get curious and go exploring. Keep in mind I'm in tennis shoes, shorts, and a plain white undershirt that has been cut into a sleeveless. Anyways you go exploring and you find some good land for Turkey, deer, and ginseng, you ask the relative if you can do all those things come season and you get permission! GREAT NEWS RIGHT? Then when you're sitting on your ole lazy boy and feel your leg hairs moving, so you shake it off and go on with it. It keeps on going and you look down and realize it's the dreaded CHIGGERS ! Them bastards are demons! So I strip but naked and hop in the shower and scrub my legs and nether regions down real good. So with that being said will this stop them? Asking for a friend of course

Nope, won't help at all.
Worth the price of gaining new hunting ground though.

 

[TNGunsmoke]

Nope, you're in for about 3 days of the itchies. Cortisone cream will help.

Permethrin before going in will make a big difference, on socks at least. For next time, for your friend of course.

I keep hearing about this stuff. Where do I get some for next time?

 

[backyardtndeer]

I buy it by the quart, Gordon brand, usually from tractor supply or rural king.

Just keep your legs shaved.

If you could see the little bastards, it likely was seed ticks instead of chiggers. Chiggers are REALLY small.

[Jcalder]

Shave em. You'll be thankful you did

 

[TheLBLman]

Shave em. You'll be thankful you did

Really needs to be done now.

 

[Carlos]

Yep, seed ticks. They are THE WORST!
You can't see chiggers without a microscope, or maybe a magnifying glass.

 

[Racknquack]

Tick…

If you have seed ticks on your legs now take duct tape or masking tape and make a loop and start sticking it to your leg...and pulling it off....start at ankles and work your way up...back of knees, ankles and around waste band....not a pleasant process but if you do it enough refreshing the tape often ...it will take allot of them off....done it many times...it works.....and in the future you gotta spray down with permethrin....good luck buddy.

If rather shave my legs than put myself through that much pain
