Seems the more I talk to people the more common this new reaction is. Annoying itchy bumps that last weeks. Some of them even get a hard head on them. Wtf are they?

Jewel weed helps and it's free. Wife is also making some salve from it. I'm not concerned with the itch, I want to know what is causing it and why it's different this year.
I know I have diabetes now and thing are different for me and I just kinda rolled this into that category and left it alone. Last week guys at work were bitching about chiggers on storm but the bites looked the same as mine. Then last night my neighbor was bitching about his and they looked the same.

those look like chigger bites to me. Chiggers are awful.
I always spray the lower legs and ankle areas or they’ll eat ya alive…. Have the grass cut short helps out also…. Once you step off the manicured lawn you’re in their domain….
Dave, this is what the wife found and it really works. I use it about three times on a bite and the itch goes away. I’ll use it until blood comes out of the bite, which means none of the venom is left in it.

Interesting. That is about how many times I gotta rub jewel weed on them. Other things it's usually just once.Dave, this is what the wife found and it really works.

Permethrin on your clothes will kill them just like ticks.
