[QUOTE="Surveyor1653, post: 2260218, member: 5197"] Benadryl, Claritin (Loratadine), and/or calamine lotion. If you paint them with nail polish or scratch them open and bleach them, you're just going to be a painted, scabby, smelly, ITCHY person. The blisters and itching are symptomatic of the body's allergic reaction, just like a mosquito bite (which I've never heard anyone tell anyone to douse in bleach or paint with nail polish) and have to be treated as such. BTW: Bleach is a chemical and, even when diluted, can cause a [I]chemical burn[/I]. WIVES TALES: Chiggers don't embed themselves in your skin and PI blisters won't spread the rash upon breaking (or ever, for that matter). Chigger bites are just that, and what causes the "spread" of a poison ivy rash is remnants of the urishol oil left behind on clothes, shoes, gloves, and tools that were never properly cleaned off after exposure.
