Do:
Soon as you get stung pull over and pee on it.

Do not:
1. Tell anyone.
2. Try to pee on it while riding.

For Chigger Bites:

"If prompt medical attention is received, you can expect a full recovery in 10-14 days.However, if left untreated, you can expect a full recovery in 10-14 days."

Remember in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" how the dad uses Windex to cure everything?

I find that a short but intense spurt of cussin works for me.

Better yet, have your friend pee on it because of the diference in PH.

A chew of tobacco taped on top of the sting works. I learned that from my dad and it works.
Agreed.

The "peeing on it" trick also works. Explaining your action to passers by might be a little challenging though. =)

Especially if the sting is on your chest, neck or face.

always found paint thinner stops the stinging immediately, not too practical on a bike, but gas or alcohol would probably work

Baking soda and water - Make a paste with the baking soda and rub it on the sting. Sounds strange but it works. Learned it from my Grandma! (God rest her soul).

oops the idea was to carry with you on the bike. Benadryl!!!
