“If you ain’t ever been bit by the nasty little insects, your life ain’t complete. Hate em”
I’ve lived in Alabama all my life & never heard of Chiggers until last month.
I sat in my yard for several hours pulling weeds. A few days later, I started itching horribly & developed a rash from Hell all over my body.
My doctor gave me a topical cream, Vistaril & Prednisone. The Vistaril & Prednisone, combined with my Xanax for my panic attacks, made for a couple of “interesting” weeks.
Let’s just say I learned about Chiggers the hard way. I also learned that I HATE them.
Precisely
Here in the Florida Panhandle we call them red bugs. You can pretty much keep them off by using Off or any other brand.
If you do get bit, you can kill them with salty meat grease. Then you can ease the itching with cortisone cream.
