Will swimming in pools get rid of chiggers because the chlorine?

No. Chiggers are not killed by chlorine. Chiggers are tiny mites that burrow into the skin and cause intense itching. They are usually found in moist, grassy areas and can be picked up by walking or sitting in infested areas. Swimming in a pool will not get rid of chiggers because the chlorine in the pool water does not penetrate the skin deeply enough to kill the mites. To remove chiggers, it is necessary to use a specific medication or soap that is designed to kill mites.
