I’ll bite. What kind of bugs do they have in rural KY?
The only two I hate are Chiggers and ticks. I don’t mind ticks all that much because it takes them hours to decide where to bite and hang on and they are pretty easy to see. However, recently we’re getting these tiny ones about the size of the head of a pin. The bite itches just as much, but you can’t see them until you start feeling the bite.
Chiggers are the worst. They create these “rash” areas that itch like crazy and take more than a month to go away. The solution for me, beyond using permathrin on my clothing and DEET on my skin, is to take a nice hot shower after I’ve been in the woods, brushing up on lots of plants. And do it immediately.
