Chiggers, or redbugs, are nearly microscopic strains of mites that do their worst, itch-inducing work come summer, thriving in damp vegetation everywhere from deep woods, to golf courses, to suburban backyards. Chigger bite relief and prevention now comes in one bottle, in Chigg-Away® topical solution – the same solution the U.S. military has relied on for years, now available to consumers.
Only Chigg-Away® has two-way chigger prevention and relief action. Applied prior to outdoor exposure around feet, ankles, above socks, behind the knee, waist, around undergarments, and to skin under tight fitting clothing, the product’s ten percent precipitated sulfur component helps prevent chigger attack. Should a bite occur, the product’s five percent Benzocaine solution treats the associated, itchy discomfort.
“Chigg-Away®
Chiggers are typically found in grass, gardens, pine straw and shrubs and are especially prevalent in blackberry and raspberry bushes. Tips and suggestions to avoiding redbug contact include:
• Avoid sitting or lying on the ground during warmer weather redbug season
• Wear light colored clothing; redbugs are attracted to dark colors, especially black
• Keep lawns and gardens closely cut
• Shower or bathe as soon as possible after exposure to high risk areas
• Launder infested clothing before wearing again
