Will this work for chiggers?

People seem to be confusing ticks and chiggers. One of the biggest myths or misconceptions about chiggers is that they can burrow under your skin and drink your blood. This leads to the common treatment for chiggers of putting clear nail polish on chigger bites to suffocate the chiggers. Since chiggers don't actually burrow under your skin, this 'treatment' is unnecessary. But chiggers don't even really bite you in the traditional sense as a mosquito does. Instead, they attach themselves to your skin, inject saliva with digestive enzymes that help to break down your skin cells, which the chigger then drinks. It is these enzymes that cause the itchy rash. So yes this will be effective for chigger bites as it will remove the enzyes.

Do you have to use right away or can you use it a day later?

I used it 2 days later. Big unsightly bites. I used it a few times, partly because I was new to the product. My daughter as well. No itch. It helped 2 bites heal faster out of 3 on me.

All of the reviews mention mosquito bites, does it also work for spider bites? Also, how soon after the bite does it need to be applied?

Hello David, Yes! Bug Bite Thing works great on Spider Bites, but should not be used for Brown Recluse or Black Widow bites. It also works great for Ants, Bees, Wasps, Black Flies, Fleas & other biting insects. We recommend using the suction pump as soon as you notice a bite or sting to prevent the reaction from getting worse. However, Bug Bite Thing CAN still be used days after a bite or sting. -BBT Team

How do you use this to remove a bee’s stinger please?

Be careful removing the stinger and the attached venom sacs. Do not push on it(scrape) as that might inject more venom. Carefully remove stinger and then apply suction.
