In this episode, Coyote is on a solo mission to be eaten alive by invisible monsters: CHIGGERS! These microscopic creatures are the larva stage of harvest mites, and in the larva stage they're so tiny they can't be seen with the human eye! But that doesn't stop them from feasting upon unsuspecting mammals that encounter a swarm.
Coyote will try his hardest to become a bug bite buffet by venturing barefoot into the forest!

What bitey bug should Coyote seek out next?!
Something Idk
1st
a Lion
Idk Something cool
spider
Coyote had to put 100% of his concentration into properly pronouncing every syllable correctly when he said “chiggers”
Yeah, he has to be very careful with that insect, both biting and pronunciation
@Matthew Hurren Cancel culture doesn’t exist, lib. He just doesn’t want to say the n-word like any decent human being.
I thought chiggers was the n word for asian
😂😂😂
@Matthew Hurren duh
Coyote being a sneaker head was not something I was expecting 🤣
frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Bro right???
i mean the fact he even knew it belonged to his favorite basketball player
came here for this.
Fr!
I worked outside running a Lawn Maintenance business in Tennessee for about 15 years. I have been bitten by Chiggers more times than I can count. Usually around the ankles, shins thighs, and behind my knees. They itch SO BAD. It feels so good to scratch them, but you can’t stop scratching them. They make a mosquito bite itch seem like NOTHING! And I have gotten them with full length pants on.
They have them in Arkansas too and I literally have scars from those things 😭 they SUCK! And same! Usually I’ll be in pants and long sleeves to prevent as many bites as possible but it rarely works 100%
I’m from Kansas and they were the bane of my existence why I was a kid
Coyote really emphasizing that “C” 😂
I come back once in a while to see if this man is still alive.
😂😂😂
Same
Same
like Eugenia Cooney
Sometimes I don't know if i'm disappointed or relieved
Coyote being a sneaker head made me an even bigger fan.
Yup. The second he named the shoe, color way, and price. Impressive, a man of culture
He prob did it for the sponsor but ye
fffffffr
@@TheGoldenDuckies no lol
Same lmaoo, didn't expect it
Fun story
One summer my group of 10 friends decided to go camping at Uwharrie National Forest. UHV off road vehicles, jeep and 4x4 trails throughout. The end of one really long and very steep trail dead ends at a portion of Badin lake, to which all 9 of the group members decided to swim (minus myself) on the final Sunday morning. The following Monday morning the group text was blowing up of the hook with everyone asking each other about these itchy red bumps. For a solid 30 min I was able to skate by not saying anything until my buddy said hey wait Boston, do you have any bumps??? Everyone else proceeded to ask as well in anticipation, to which I replied “lol no sir”. After some uncomfortable photos and a little help from the nurse of the group, it was confirmed as chiggers. I absolutely thought it was some backwoods nickname. Needless to say being the black sheep occasionally has its benefits.
Thank you mr peterson for your hard work and much appreciated knowledge.
If you want to find chiggers easily just go anywhere in the United States below the northern regions. They are in grass during the spring and summer and early fall and they leave you with the most intense unending itch for a week.
Only a true sneaker head would keep one abandoned shoe on a beach
I still can't believe such a shoe is just on an abandoned island.
@@EternallyBlu LOL Abandoned island til the one shot panned and you could see a parking lot full of cars and some utility building
@@Gigabyte1002 I did not see that part. Makes sense. Though, you gotta wonder how that happens.
@@Gigabyte1002 Maybe not abandoned, but tell me.. who leaves such a nice shoe on a rocky beach like that?
If Coyote would have kept looking around where he found that shoe, he WOULD have found the other one- on the body that some Murderer dumped there that was originally wearing the pair!🙂
Whoever came up with the name for this bug definitely knew what they were doing
PT-91 Twardy wants you to know... this is not serious...
💀
Nah bruh I was so confused when I first heard it
“You should thank me.” 👴🏻
bro why do i have so many likes tf
Do black people have a monopoly on words ending in igger..?
@@mouwersor yes
His camera crew wanted no part of this one! He’s finally gone crazy.😂
Make sure to take cold or at least room temperature showers. Heat will irritate the bites, and have in some cases caused extreme swelling. Also if you don't have any cream like chiggerX, then a cold press or ice pack works alright. Remember to never put an ice directly on your skin, and instead have a buffer layer of a rag or something.
Thank you!
Wish I had had this advice earlier this year lol
I've been bitten many times, especially as a kid playing in the woods. I've believed my entire life that they burrow into your skin. Never too old to learn something
Oh yeah. I have seen full on arguments on YT about that. People swear they burrow in and to use various liquids like alcohol to kill the embedded bug. Complete nonsense. Folks love to hold on to their "stories"
I was always told the same. People told me to suffocate them in their “burrows” with nail polish remover.
Some do burrow, at least the ones from the south do and I've used nail polish on the bumps as well!
@@madesicc2 No. They don't. Complete myth. One of the oldest.
I’ve seen those tiny things on bricks in New York..
*_CHIGGAS_*
Coyote being a sneaker head makes him even greater which I didn’t know was possible 😂😍 I was like “okkkkk coyoteeee!” 😂😍
I live in the Midwest and as a kid I'd get excited when I found harvest mites, I loved them. I didn't know their kids were so evil :((
Just when you thought Coyote couldn't get anymore interesting, you find out he's a total sneaker head. What an absolute legend!!! 🤠
Exactly bro.
What rhymes with chiggers?
More like a skin head... gtfoh...
Coyote is one of us. Imagines dinosaurs when canoeing through the swamp and recognizes a foam Penny when he sees it derelict on the shore. 😂
Year bah
That thumbnail is crazy 💀
Fr
It wasn’t a lie though lol
Your profile is crazy
I've always seen those little red bugs crawling on stones, concrete curbs etc. Never thought they could do any harm.
Those are mites while similar they are not the same as chiggers
think there either concert mites or clover mites either way the are annoying lmao
I used to squish em a lot as a kid
Called em blood bugs bc they literally look like little dots of blood when you squish them
those arent chiggers.
i'm sorry what.
chiggers
LMFAOO
What
Chiggers rhymes with n-
You heard em'
10:44 I can't decide whether to laugh or cry
He betrayed us
i guess censor bars wont work for the armpits
Thanks for sharing. This reminds me of a time my wife and I stopped at Tyler State Park in East Texas for lunch. We had been driving for a long time so I started to walk around the edge of a pond. A couple days later after returning home I broke out with a rash from my knees to my hips. It was very uncomfortable for several days.
Wow, I can't believe the chiggers bit Coyote in areas that are not suppose to be shown! I've seen adult velvet mites in my yards before.
Seriously though, thank you for explaining that they don’t burrow into skin. I have been deeply afraid of these creatures for a long while because of that, and this video alleviated my fear immensely.
They actually do. then they plant larvae inside you.
@@anton1949 no they don’t, it’s just a myth
@@Sleepy_Slytherin Do some research, it's true.
@@anton1949 i did, it isn’t true. It’s a literal myth.
@@anton1949 Y’know what, to prove I have researched here are some quotes from my research!
“Once attached to a host (you, the victim), they may remain for three to five days before dropping off. Contrary to folk lore, they do not burrow into the skin, nor do they lay eggs in your skin.”
“Chigger bites can be treated at home by using an over-the-counter anti-itch cream like calamine lotion and/or taking antihistamines to reduce itching. Chiggers don't burrow into your skin, so there is no need for any other at-home remedies.”
“Chiggers do not burrow into and remain inside the skin, contrary to popular belief. Chiggers inject digestive enzymes into the skin and feed upon the decomposed tissue.”
“What's kind of cool is that chiggers do not actually bite us. Likewise, they do not burrow into our skin, and they do not suck our blood.”
“Chiggers do not burrow under your skin, as many people believe, nor do they feed on animal blood.”
“Unlike scabies mites, chiggers don’t burrow into the skin. Like mosquitoes, chiggers pierce the skin and release a digestive enzyme that later causes human skin to itch.”
“Chigger larvae do not burrow into the skin, nor suck blood. “
I suggest you do research yourself. Simply search “Do chiggers actually burrow?”
You are thinking of scabies.
Coyote is the one person I can watch all day and won’t be bored
Onggg
Wow same, me and Coyote have so much in common. For starters, we both love dinosaurs.
True that is not true
same
Frrr
I went to the swamp fully clothed and covered in cloths and bug spray. I became a chigger. I went back the next year with only short shorts and bare foot with no spray. ALOT LESS CHIGGERS. THEY LIKE CLOTHS AND BUG SPRAY. HOT bath is the only cure
😂😂😂I love that you found the foamposites!! That’s so awesome
When I would go hunting with my dad as a kid, we had a sock full of sulfur. Chiggers and other tick-like bugs hate sulfur. So before going into any tall grass, we would smack the sock around our ankles and legs and enough of the sulfur would find it’s way through the sock and onto us to keep the chiggers away.
A nice little life hack if you ever need to go into tall grass in the summer especially
Edit: Since everyone is talking about it in the replies, I gave my dad a call to answer some questions… it was just straight sulfur, but powdered down (pls don’t smack yourself with rocks😭) & was purchased in a Home Depot’s gardening section. This was over a decade ago so I’m not sure if Home Depot still sells it or not, but if you can find it at another gardening store, comment where you found it! Also, a thicker sock is better as long as some of it can still come through the sock. & make sure it’s a sock you never wanna use again & only use it on clothes you never wanna use outside of hunting or outdoors activities cuz sulfur smells godawful and will get stuck to those clothes for years. And WHATEVER YOU DO!!!! Do not make the mistake I made and wash the sulfur covered pants you used the sock on with all of your other everyday clothes 😭 every piece of clothing that I owned smelled like sulfur for a month straight. I had to go buy all new clothes and get rid of the old ones cuz they were smelly beyond repair lmfao. Hope this helped y’all. 👍 be careful out there
Where do I get sulfur?
@@sadhu7191 I have no clue tbh I was really young and never questioned it
Yeah seriously where the hell do you get sulfur
@@moomaniac2932 from the earth. Where do you get sand? A sand store? Outside, go get it!
@@sadhu7191 just go to the desert and bring like a tommy kit and jack hammer all the sulphur nodes you should get like 300 sulphur per node
As an Aussie watching people walk in tall grass like that in the summer stresses me out lmao. Great way to get a snake bite!
We dont get your crazy snakes
I don't think Australians snakes care about hidding in vegetation...
@@piercarlosoares724 Yeah they do, lol. One of the first things you learn if you live rural or do a lot of bushwalking here is to stay out of long grass in the summer/hot weather because of possible snakes.
He's immortal
Americans probably feel the same way seeing school kids in other countries walk through the school halls without a bullet proof vest on
I got them last summer and it was weeks and weeks of itching from my feet to my stomach. Wooooorst.
My son is 6 and looks up to you so much! He just dived belly first into the swamp to catch a bull frog and said “I’m coyote Jaxson! On the next adventure “ lol
Aww that’s cool tell him I said to keep up the dreams he could be like him one day
@@internetboi7296 he could die because coyote peterson experienced alot of pain before and also he has a medical team if something wrong happens

"Hey Bob, i found these extremely dangerous red bugs that can eat flesh and inflict tons of pain on a person! What should we call them?"
"Chiggers."
"What?"
"C H I G G E R S"
The origin of the word is recorded in 1756 as being from West Indies chigoe (1660s), possibly from Carib, or from or influenced by words from African languages (such as Wolof and Yoruba jiga "insect").
Dude imagine them just sitting in a room with like5 people and they all stare at th e person who called them chiggers like tf

this is killing me, there's layers to this 💀 a perfect video 10/10
I had a Carolina blue pair of Air Penny. My favorite player also. So cool!
i had chiggers without realizing it. went to bed one night and half way through i ended up scratching my legs until they bled in my sleep. after i found out what they were, i counted them all for a grand total of 76 bites all over my skin in every place. It was the most unbearable itching since i had no idea how to cure it. i spent 2 weeks in itching agony.
Almost sounds like chickenpox
usually jus a shower and washing the area really well should fix it lol
I will donate one like becuase of that rip💀
Cover the bite mark with clear fingernail polish. In a couple days it will be gone. Chiggers actually use your body to incubate larvae.
It's awful!! Hot shower intensified my itch. My dermatologist prescribed me something to eliminate the itch.
Chiggers: we want a snack..
Coyote: I think I’m a main dish.
Yeah man
comedy genius
This man is my favorite. He has the best TH-cam content ever 🙌🏼 I love you, Coyote!
Bruh no he don’t MrBeast does
Coyote knowing his shoes and basketball was the last thing I thought he knew 😂
"Sponsored by chiggers"
That's absolutely hilarious
Coyote: "The good news is I was successfully eaten alive by Chiggers" "The bad news is that all the bites are in areas I can't really show you" 😂🤣
🤨📸
Oh no.....
Uh...
Disappointed
Probably didn’t get bitten at all 😂
Got these same type of bites last night around my nether regions so I researched it. I'm like wtf is this shenanigans. Found out it was chiggers and then saw this video. Dude, you are crazy but at the same time very informative!
Been bitten by these last time I was in Texas. It was unbearably itchy and we tried so many things to relieve it to no avail. Probably the second worst thing I have endured next to hives and shingles.
You are fortunate to not have encountered scabies then. Absolutely terrible
@@eveningwind2023gotta love a 1’upper 🎉
@@kevinbradley8613 What is the point of your comment? Are you that insecure and petty to truly believe your words here meant anything of real value? Honest question. I'd love you to "1 up" me on this one
@@eveningwind2023 you ever met someone like you before? You know, somebody who’s always got something worse or did something better? Talk about adding value to the conversation 🤣. Somebody who one ups another literally devalues the first person’s words. OP here simply shared an anecdote and you couldn’t help yourself. Just callin what I see. No hard feelings, pal. You could’ve instead simply shared your story about a terrible experience with scabies without telling the poster how “fortunate” they are (true as that may be, it’s still a ‘terrible’ way to converse… if that was your goal).

The bugs are not that dirty
5:52 **dead body floats up**
Woah man, we call them Chiggas
Whats up my *Chigga*
100% chigga
These things were the bane of my youth. I remember my legs and wrists getting absolutely obliterated by chiggers. We used to put super glue over the bites to dry them out and cover it. Worked alright.
I live by the coast of lake Erie. And I love going to the islands. It's awesome to see coyote in my neck of the woods.
Can't believe what he does for a living it's just amazing man he can withstand so much pain man

Found out coyote is a sneaker head I’ve watched all his videos and now I’m def subscribing and being a fan 🔥🔥🔥
I got chiggers walking through the woods and my ankles itched for weeks with the most intense itching ive ever felt
I was in Arkansas with a friend a couple years ago and he got dozens of chigger bites on his ankle. And it seemed like they nested in his shoe because every time he would wear it he would get more bites. Not a fun experience. But we did find out that another way to temporarily stop the itching was actually mint listerine (other mouthwash brands may work too but we only tried the one.) it doesn’t last super long but the relief is Instant and you don’t have to rub it in or anything, just put it in a spray bottle and spray it on.
Are these things visible to naked eye?
@@funveeable I couldn’t see them, but you can definitely see the red bite later.
@@funveeable full adult form is easily visible
Sea Breeze astringent skin cleaner also great to soothe bug bites, age old remedy just like how people figured out Skin So Soft emollient actually worked great as bug repellent
They dislike peppermint, lemongrass and eucalyptus from my experience. Also discourages ticks and mosquitos.
I run in a path through the woods and get bit all the time. Kept thinking I was getting poison ivy but this is definitely what has been getting me. Thanks Brave Wilderness!
I'm bob
yeah dude, what are you doing running through the woods without spraying repellant????. use permethrin spray, or deet spray if you can't find that. after dousing your shoes, clothes and ankles, you'll be good more than likely.
Use powdered sulphur to keep them off you. Put some in an old sock, and dab your ankles, pant cuffs, sleeves at wrists, belt line, and anywhere where chiggers might access your skin through your clothing. Best advice from Texas!
I was waiting on Coyote to say "chigga please" 😂😂
I got bit up once. They made a perfect outline of bites around the tongue of my boot and the around the top of my boot line. Scratching one bit would make the other flare up and it was the closest to insanity I've ever been. The anti-itch bug bite spray was unbelievably amazing lol
I did hear that clear nail polish kills/ dries it up
Ur boot?
I love to see the Les Stroud shout out! He’s definitely my favourite survival documentary maker! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Chiggers also love leaf piles, learned that during the many years of camping.
the thumbnail made me re-think my life choices
That was the cleanest airball I’ve ever seen from sneaker head coyote 😂
Bitten by WHAT?!
chigger
Chiggers and ticks sounds like somethin else
i used to play outside in the grass with my dogs a lot as a kid & I’d always get devoured by chiggers!! i couldn’t handle it & i’d keep my mom up all night because i itched so much that i’d bawl my eyes out 😅😅
Wasnt expecting to hear chigger as much as i did today 😂😂
I came for the chigger bites and got a nice little foamposite surprise. Sweet find!
I thought these were the little bugs I used to squish when I was little. Clover mites and Chiggers look really similar.
OMG those critters are a scourge! I’m sure Coyote knows full well! Every spring around June 1st, I have the itchiest ankles, legs, and sometimes nether regions! It usually lasts through the end of September!
Where my chiggas at? 🤝
so that's what a chigger is! i kept hearing it in "oh Susanna" and was wondering what they were
Come to Kansas...you can't get in any grass without getting them in the summer. I just assumed they were everywhere.
Got them on my first and only visit in the US. At first, I stayed in Tennessee and then in Texas. Even though I stayed in Tennessee only for a week I still was fortunate enough to get them there. My legs were itchy for month and a half and I had no idea why until I learned about their existence.
Coyote, I have been watching for so long. I just want to say thank you for the amazing adventures and bites That you have shared with us all!
One summer in Texas I counted 73 bites on myself. It was miserable lol. I’ve reached 40 plus a couple times since but that’s was a rememberable summer. Sulfur socks work pretty good
i had those shoes as a kid in the blue . loved them
I’ve used chiggerex for years for mosquito bites. They’ve had the same bottle for decades. I don’t know what they put in it but it works great. Mosquitoes love me and this gives me some temporary relief. So yes, it works on all bug bites, not just chiggers.
Just hearing the ingredients it doesn't sound very effective. Benzocaine is 10 times less effective than lidocaine. Meaning this chiggerex 10% benzocaine stuff is as strong as 1% lidocaine. You can pretty easily find 4% lidocaine in stores and get 10% online without a prescription. Also it should have way stronger anti-itch stuff. There isn't even any hydrocortizone. You can literally get dog anti itch spray with 1% lidocaine and hydrocortizone together. I just don't get how these legacy products can get away with being around forever but never improving their formulation to modern standards.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep No one asked you to say all that.......and why the hell do you even have 5 likes anyway?

This is, by far, The most respect I have given you for any other thing you have done.
I live in Kentucky. I was innocently walking through my yard in flip flops and at this very moment I have over 100 chiggar bites on my body. 50 alone are on my ankle and foot! I'm over a week from walking through the nest and I'm still itching like crazy!! Good luck!
I also live in KY, my Grandma refuses to walk outside in the summertime now that she’s been bitten up by chiggers! Those bites are unbearable.
It is safe to say we are looking forward immensely to fall and winter! Haha
I swear he's the most brave person ive never seen
lots of ppl do this stuff we just don't know them because they are not famous, yeah i love coyote tho
Boys be like "Old shoe on a remote beach, TREASURE ME LADS! I FOUND TREASURE" lol xD
Every time he’s about to say “chiggers” he’s really being caution to not say you know😂😂😂
Tiggers ?
BRAVE WILDERNESS
Coming from a good southern man this episode makes my wobbly bits itch just watching it. 😂
Can't tell if he's lookin for chiggers or Yoda's house lol
Oh WoW! I spent a summer on that island, my dad was working the vineyards there. This brings a lot of nostalgia for me. Obviously the terrain has changed since 1999
I get these all the time here in Southeastern NC. Literally EVERYTIME i walk in the woods during the summer my feet and groin get eat up. I have learned how to deal with them. A razor blade is in my shower and i scrape my feet which removes the chiggers. They can be seen with the naked eye if you are close enough to the bites. I can pick them off with the tip of a razor quite easily. The itch does suck though
Coyote is turning into a one man band of the cratt brothers
Okay Coyote being a sneaker head secured a lifetime subscription from me 💪🏼
Chiggers? Ayo??
We had a ton of chiggars in the grass at my house when I was in high school. Anytime I mowed the lawn I would wake up the next day with blisters the size of my thumb. Suffice to say that I had quite the allergic reaction to their bites and I had to deal with that for 3 years
It’s funny that chiggers don’t bother me but ticks do. The fact you can see them makes them scarier for some reason
Hey Coyote...that was fab! After experiencing many chiggers ...over many years, I always wondered about the details of chiggers.
i love adventuring and photography, and after i had an awful bunch of ~60 bites, i started wearing repellent and immediately washing myself with cold water after going out. chiggerex (the one you used^^) is definitely the move-you’ll want it. i’ve never had problems since doing those precautions before and after going out^^
