Chigger remedies?

Give 'em to me please.

Go the the Shawnee National Forest they said. Hike the Buttermilk trail they said...

I've always reacted badly to chiggers but Lord I'm coated with the damn things now - probably 70 bites. Itch like the dickens - phuck my luck. I want to crawl into - and become one with - a den of angry, epileptic porcupines.

Nothing I've tried in the past has worked to relieve the subject itch, but I'll try anything now. So go ahead - tell me what works for you - I beseech thee...

... if you write a good enough poem

Yes but what rhymes with chigger? But I came here to say nail polish.

Benadryl - two tabs for adult dose knocks me out, but half the dose at twice the frequency keeps me ambulatory. 2 every 4-6 hours: nap time 1 every 2-3 hours: works pretty well

I read a story recently here on Poal I believe about a correlation between benadryl and Alzheimer, you should look into that.

Have you ever read about Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) abuse?

Recently saw something but don't recall. It works. I use it sparingly. It is an old drug - so I like that.

Was that with Tylenol in the, um, antibiotic resistance maybe? Link that shit.

Yeah, some "research" now claims that Tylenol can cause autism if used by the mother while pregnant. I don't remember if it was a issue with antibiotics but if it was, I posted it to that sub. Posting is sort of like extended memory in some cases....

No, not at all.

Diphenhydramine/Benadryl is one of the darkest drugs that has ever existed.

25-50 milligrams will help you out with your allergies. 100 milligrams will make you drowsy. If you go over 700 milligrams, you will literally see the Devil, and I am not being hyperbolic.

Diphenhydramine is an a potent anticholinergic, sedative, and, in large enough doses, a hallucinogen, with the subclass of deliriant.

Most hallucinogens fall into three classes: Psychedelics (like LSD, Mushrooms, or DMT), Dissociatives (like Ketamine) or Deliriants (Like Belladona, Poisonous Nightshade, or, Benadryl, one of the most comment OTC drugs in existence)

I have to go to sleep, but I want to continue this conversation.

Know that Diphenhydramine (Benadyl) is one of the most commonly abused drugs there is by zoomers. Go to https://old.reddit.com/r/DPH/ it is wild.
