Once the insects have finished feeding off of you and your immune system kicks in and you start insanely itching all over and you have red welts all over your hips, hindquarters, thighs, armpits, genitals, ankles -- you get the idea -- you search for all of the myriad remedies to alleviate this problem.
There are many resources and sites online regarding how to treat Chiggers but few, if any -- at least none that I have come across -- allude to the mental focus necessary to move beyond the burning and itching and to eventually enter a healing phase.
So, here is how you know you're getting there:
As you study the red polka dot skin of your ravaged body in the mirror, honestly be thankful to these tiny insects that they have indeed ravaged you.
That is, take it as a compliment.
If you can honestly pledge your respect and thankfulness to these minute, little devils, how they put a stop to your world, if only for an instant (it seems like a lifetime,) then you can know that you are on the right path toward healing.
It's that simple.
