My Step-Grandmother was a witch with home cures. She always used Witch hazel on bug bites. It could be amazing how the itch would be reduced.

Good thing, because biting blood suckers just love me.

Witch hazel actually works.

Just as well, if not better, is aloe. Not from the stuff they sell in the store but from an aloe plant.

If you are a pepper, you need an aloe plant. They’re easy to grow and you just slice off a leaf (arm?) and squeeze out the healing goo.

I had a bea sting recently. Put aloe on immediately. Stopped the pain immediately. It works for burns, insect bites, canker sores and poison ivy.
Not sure about chiggers. But anything that stings burns or turns red.
