What do chigger look like?
Chiggers are tiny 6-legged creatures. They are known to attack people in wooded and/or damp areas. They are most commonly found during summertime when grass and weeds grow the heaviest. Chiggers do not bury themselves into the skin like small ticks do; they bite near the hair follicles and produce red welts which can be very painful and itchy. Chiggers are very small and cannot be seen without a magnifying glass. They usually feed on snakes, birds, and mammals; even humans. Chiggers usually bite humans where clothing fits tightly or in places like waistlines, armpits, and behind the knees. Chiggers are not known to carry disease in the United States. When they bite, the symptoms can continue for about a week. If symptoms are not treated, then they become a secondary infection.

Do Chiggers die or is there a way to kill them?
Well of course chiggers die, as every living thing does. On your skin (and don't listen to the others who tell you otherwise) you can put clear nailpolish on your skin, which suffocates them. Or, just put rubbing alcohol on them every so often. It works, OK? I have had plenty of chiggers in my life! And I'm perfectly healthy! This tactic works great, and you won't develop any health concerns. Believe me, I've had hundreds of chiggers.
