Not sure if this qualifies as a "remedy", as it is actually preventative, but lavender essential oil, applied to the skin will repel nasty bugs such as mosquitoes. Plus it makes you smell good.
It will also keep you chigger-free, even if you end up buck-nekkid in the woods of MO.
Boy, I'm gonna have to get some of that stuff..

But does it work on the chiggers here in Illinois????

It is very good and my favorite scent.
Emu oil helps with burns specifically and among other things - relieves the pain of shingles for some people.
But does it work on the chiggers here in Illinois????
honey: if you have allerigies...get local honey...as local to your location as you can....take one tablespoon a day...it will either work or not work in about 3 days...the key is local honey...
also you can put honey on a wound...anti bacteria

Dunno. Haven't had problems with chiggers here. Ever.
nothing works on chiggers
nothing works on chiggers
Anyway, I'd say try hydrocortisone cream for those.

Honey and AllergiesHoney contains bits and pieces of pollen and honey, and as an immune system booster, it is quite powerful. I have often in talks and articles, and in my books, advocated using local honey. Frequently Ill get emails from readers who want to know exactly what I mean by local honey, and how local should it be. This is what I usually advise:
Allergies arise from continuous over-exposure to the same allergens. If, for example, you live in an area where there is a great deal of red clover growing, and if in addition you often feed red clover hay to your own horses or cattle, then it likely you are exposed over and over to pollen from this same red clover. Now, red clover pollen is not especially allergenic but still, with time, a serious allergy to it can easily arise.
Another example: if you lived in a southern area where bottlebrush trees were frequently used in the landscapes or perhaps you had a bottlebrush tree growing in your own yard, your odds of over-exposure to this trees tiny, triangular, and potently very allergenic pollen is greatly enhanced.
In the two examples used above, both species of plants are what we call amphipilous, meaning they are pollinated by both insects and by the wind. Honeybees will collect pollen from each of these species and it will be present in small amounts in honey that was gathered by bees that were working areas where these species are growing. When people living in these same areas eat honey that was produced in that environment, the honey will often act as an immune booster. The good effects of this local honey are best when the honey is taken a little bit (a couple of teaspoons-full) a day for several months prior to the pollen season.
When Im asked how local should the honey be for allergy prevention I always advise to get honey that was raised closest to where you live, the closer the better since it will have more of exactly what youll need.
It may seem odd that straight exposure to pollen often triggers allergies but that exposure to pollen in the honey usually has the opposite effect. But this is typically what we see. In honey the allergens are delivered in small, manageable doses and the effect over time is very much like that from undergoing a whole series of allergy immunology injections. The major difference though is that the honey is a lot easier to take and it is certainly a lot less expensive. I am always surprised that this powerful health benefit of local honey is not more widely understood, as it is simple, easy, and often surprisingly effective.
