Re: HELP!! I am going mad!

I pack in Louisiana. Everything that crawls is here. Chiggers, known as red bugs here, are probably your long lasting itch problem. They do not go away easily. I usually take a hot shower and a stiff fingernail brush with plenty of soap and scrub the little vermon out. Then after the hole stops seeping, brush with "New Skin". Harsh, but effective. It takes only a couple of days for the wound to heal, but the itch usually stops when you corterize the wound with the new skin. Grit your teeth! I found the "New Skin" effective on hot spots if you have time to let it dry, and it can get you by on some broken blisters (let them some what stop seeping first.)
The sulfer sock is effective for preventing the little skin suckers from getting you in the first place. Sulfer sock=pour sulfer into old sock and dust around ankles & belt line. I'm afraid long pants will increase your protection also.
