Either Hydrocodone cream or Benadryl spray work for me.

Since this thread started someone told me that the same common remedy we all use for poison ivy also relieves the itch of chiggers..

"Jewelweed"...also know as 'Touch Me Nots'...They are a wild Impatian ...They have a natural antihistamine...

Impatiens capensis - Wikipedia

They can also be pink or yellow...

Jewelweed is fantastic. It grows in wet areas, along creeks. We pick it, boil in a pot until it's like dark tea. Keep a gallon jug in refrigerator. Pour some in a saucer on a folded paper towel. Place that on affected area. Instant relief and right now is the time to harvest it, it's in bloom.
If none on your place look for it on back roads wherever a creek is.
