"Barriers to migration on the skin such as belts may be one reason that chigger bites also commonly occur at the waist or at other areas where their migration is prevented by compression from clothing." "A chigger bite itself is not noticeable. After the chigger has begun to inject digestive enzymes into the skin (usually after about 1-3 hours), symptoms and signs typically begin.
◾Pronounced itching is the most common symptom.
◾The area of the bite may be reddened, flat, or raised; sometimes it resembles a pustule or blister.
◾The itch is due to the presence of the stylostome and usually is most intense within 1-2 days after the bite.
◾The itching persists for several days, and complete resolution of the skin lesions can take up to two weeks."
