something else that you might find interesting, even though it isnt directly helpful:
the chigger doesnt actually feed on your living tissue or your blood. the chigger eats the dead flesh around it, that is created when it embeds itself in your flesh, much the same way that a fly eats, by dissolving the food with saliva and then sucking it up. that is how the chigger burrows in, it is literally eating a hole into you starting with the epidermal layer and proceeding as the skin beneath dies
