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.
I tried a couple times in the past to grow Aloe, always it turned into a slimy mush and died.
This year I got a plant that had been recently transplanted. Cost me like 5 bucks.
The tv shows I had seen said “let it dry out... to the bone!” so I did.
It’s doing GREAT! Has shoots coming up too!
