On another note, I was walking a lot 3 weeks ago. Next day I noticed I got bit ~25 times by chiggers on my left leg and ankle. Itched like crazy for weeks. Ugh

I've been hearing about chiggers since I was a kid. My first experience with them (didn't realize it) was about 5 years ago when we moved to the country. Maybe once per year. Eventually realized they were chiggers and were able to mostly avoid them by staying out of the deep grass and away from the ravine where there's more moisture and wild critters. I still get the occasional bite or 5, but when I know I've been in an area where they are more likely, I take a bath as soon as I am able and scub everywhere with an exfoliating glove.

The worst bit is that usually when you get chigger bites, there's a chance that you're getting 10 or 20 or 30 of them spread all over the damn place. Chigger bites itch worse than anything else I've ever experienced, including poison ivy.
