I put the tennis shoes I was wearing each time into a plastic bag and have now run out of shoes to wear that I’m not afraid of. 🙂 If I’ve had them bagged up for a week and 2 weeks now, are they safe to wear?

I thought it was poison ivy but when it started getting worse and only itched every few days – I started looking into this idea of chiggers. Calamine lotion has helped me stop itching. I’m surprised you don’t have it listed here. I was going to get Chigarid or something like that with camphor and alcohol but I found calahist (calamine and pramoxine are the ingredients). And I feel a lot better now!

Please address this bit of info. It would be nice to see a demonstration of various methods attempting to kill them under a powerful microscopic camera, like between a hammer and steel, between the slap of two palms like you would kill a mosquito or rubbing down your legs with say a piece of leather “while” they are crawling vs after they bore in…
