Chigger bites? I have had them like that before where more seem to show up after the first day or so. Not sure how that works, but my understanding is that they inject a poison that breaks down the skin, and then they leave. Then, the breaking down of the skin is what makes it itch so bad.

I have had 50-60 bites on each leg (foot to knee), two or three times, and I thought I was going to die. Honestly, probably the closest thing to being driven insane that I have ever experienced!

Gotta tough it out, but in the mean time, benadryl (both orally and topically) is what I used to adjust the itching from a 10 to a 9.5!!!
