If you have been looking for some home remedies for chigger bites, you have certainly come to the right place. Chiggers are pesky parasites that are invisible to the naked eye. Red in color, chiggers quickly become yellow once they start feeding on bodily fluids. What’s more, they are so small that you don’t see them until the first sign of their bite appears in a day or so. Next time you go for a nice trek or camping trip, be careful of your surroundings. In this article, we look at the symptoms of chigger bites and a few natural ingredients at home that can deal with them easily. Scroll down to know more!

What Are Chiggers?

Chiggers, also known as red bugs and larval mites, are tiny larvae belonging to the arachnid family. Although these larvae are extremely small, their bites cause intense itching.

Chiggers are commonly found in grassy or wooded areas. They love warm, humid places and are most active in late spring and summer. Knowing where they live and how they grow can help you avoid getting bitten by them during outdoor activities.

Chiggers can quickly get on your skin from blades of grass and vegetation if you happen to brush up against their habitat. They are so tiny that you won’t even notice their presence until your skin begins to itch. They can also enter your home surreptitiously. However, these larvae become inactive at temperatures below 16°C and die when the temperatures fall below 6°C.

protip_icon Quick Tip
Chigger bites are easily confused with bites from bed bugs, jiggers, and scabies. However, the appearance of the bite marks can help distinguish one from the other.

Key Takeaways

  • Chiggers or red bugs are tiny bugs that suck on human body fluids and may cause red bumps on the skin or itching.
  • While chigger bites are not harmful, the intense itching they cause may lead to bleeding and serious infections if scratched aggressively.
  • Some natural treatments may help soothe these bites like a baking soda or Epsom salt bath, Vicks Vaporub, rubbing alcohol, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Always wash yourself and your clothes when coming back from outdoor activities to avoid chigger bites. Also, calamine lotion to soothe itching.

How Do Chiggers Bite Humans?

Once chiggers attach themselves to the human body with the help of their claws, they attach their mouth to the skin and inject their saliva. The presence of an enzyme in the saliva of chiggers breaks the human cells into liquid form. The human body responds to this by hardening the skin cells around the saliva, thus creating a tube via which the chiggers suck on the body fluids. Chiggers usually feed on a host body for 1 to 12 days if they are not scratched off (1). However, when it comes to human bodies, they are easily dislodged by scratching and rarely stay attached for more than 48 hours (2).

Other than the persistent itchy sensation, you may notice other symptoms after a chigger bite. Some of them are listed below.

Signs And Symptoms Of Chigger Bites

The common signs and symptoms that accompany chigger bites include (2):

  • Reddish bumps on the skin with a bright red dot in the center
  • Bumps that occur in groups and grow for up to a week
  • Bumps that usually occur around the armpits, crotch, ankles, waist, or behind your knees

Though there are hardly any serious health consequences of chigger bites, one of the major problems is the intense itchiness that follows. It may sometimes last for as long as 2 weeks (2). In fact, you may even start to bleed as a result of itching constantly. This can, in turn, cause skin infections, worsening the appearance of the bites. Thus, it is best to treat the problem. We have listed some of the best home remedies for chigger bites. Take a look.

Home Remedies To Treat Chigger Bites

Here are some of the best home remedies for chigger bites. Before you explore them, it is important to note that like all natural remedies, the ones mentioned below may cause allergic reactions or skin irritation. Therefore, always patch-test them on a small area of your skin before widespread use. If you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed below, avoid using them.

1. Baking Soda

You Will Need
  • 1 cup of baking soda
  • Bathwater
What You Have To Do
  1. Add a cup of baking soda to your bathwater and allow it to dissolve.
  2. Soak in the bath for 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Alternatively, you can also make a thick paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the chigger bites.
How Often You Should Do This

You must do this once a day for 2 to 3 days or until the itching subsides.

Why This Works

Baking soda is one of the most widely used home remedies for chigger bites and the inflammation linked to it. This may be due to its anti-inflammatory nature (3). It may help soothe the skin by reducing any redness and swelling linked to chigger bites. Since it is also alkaline in nature, it may help neutralize the acidic components of the saliva left behind by the chiggers (4).. This, in turn, may reduce the itchiness caused by chigger bites to a great extent. Baking soda is also antimicrobial and may help kill any infection-causing bacteria, preventing infections that could arise from scratching the bites (5).

2. Vicks Vapor Rub

You Will Need
  • Vicks Vapor Rub (as required)
  • Salt (as required)

Why This Works

Vicks Vapor Rub contains menthol, which exhibits strong anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the swelling, inflammation, redness, and itchiness caused by chigger bites (6).

What You Have To Do
  1. Add one-fourth cup of household bleach to a tub filled with warm water.

  3. You can also mix equal parts of bleach and water and apply it directly to the chigger bites.
How Often You Should Do This

You may take a bleach bath immediately after your encounter with chiggers.

Why This Works

The chlorine in bleach has anti-inflammatory properties that may help soothe the skin and reduce redness and swelling (8). A bleach bath also thoroughly cleans the skin and may kill any leftover chiggers on your body, reducing itching to a great extent. A small amount of bleach diluted in water also acts as a mild antiseptic and disinfectant, killing bacteria on the skin’s surface. This may help prevent any secondary infections (8).

4. Essential Oils

Note: Essential oils may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. So, always do a patch test before using them. Also, the oils are highly potent. Always dilute them with carrier oils or water before use to avoid burns and irritation.

These properties may help reduce the itching and swelling in the affected area and prevent other infections.

Ann, a blogger, shares her own home remedy for chigger bites which includes a simple salt and butter mix. She claims that although the remedy was helpful, it got messy so she decided to use clove essential oil to numb the itching. “As an added bonus, as some of the bigger bites began to blister and ooze in later days, the clove essential oil provided a cleansing effect to keep them from getting infected (i),” she added.
