    How Chigger Bite

    Only the larvae bite humans. They tend to choose warm, moist areas of the body. Chiggers have claws that help them grab onto the skin.

    The chigger then attaches its mouth to the skin and injects saliva. The saliva contains an enzyme that breaks skin cells down to liquid form.


    Your body responds by hardening skin cells around the saliva, creating a tube, or a stylostome through which the chigger sucks the host’s body fluids.

    Chiggers can stay attached and feeding for several days. Usually, they last about 4 days before falling off.

     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

    Causes

    Chiggers are a misery. But what causes them to breed and survive? Let’s take a look.

  • When the outside temperature is warm or hot (not extremely hot or cold), that becomes the breeding temperature for chiggers.
  • In moist and grassy regions (for instance, places with tall grass, and excess of weeds), chiggers can be found lurking.
  • Live or work in dirty environments? Then you are inviting chiggers as they breed in unclean places.
  • Lack of sunlight also fuels the breeding of chiggers.
  • Damp areas with lots of birds and insects make a perfect home for chigger infestation.

    • The Most Common Areas Where Chiggers Can Be Found

    Not all grass is green. Chiggers thrive most in parks, gardens, grassy fields, forests, and moist areas, near rivers or lakes. Since they are red, they can be easiest to spot when in clusters on human skin. While juvenile chiggers have six legs, the adults have eight.


    That’s why they are so powerful, despite being invisible.

     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

    Chigger Bites Symptoms

  • Itching which can turn intense 1-2 days after the chigger bite
  • A raised or flat red bump on the skin
  • A skin bump which looks similar to a blister (or a pimple)
  • Desire to scratch (and keep on scratching the infected skin)

    • I know it’s a touchy and sensitive issue to talk about – but chigger bites on the male private parts can lead to severe itching, swelling and pain while passing urine.

    No need to itch any more. There are home remedies at our disposal. Not one, but several.

  • Using insecticides (natural or chemical) to treat your yard is always recommended. When done, it will reduce the chigger population around your house in a major way.
  • From time to time, get a professional pest controller to treat your trees, and shrubs (in case commercial insecticides fail to show results).
  • Avoid sitting in the lawn for a long period. This will prevent exposing your face and to those pesky chigger bites.
  • Keep the grass in your yard short. If it needs mowing your yard, do so. Also, get the trees and bushes pruned to allow more sunlight into the yard.
