HAHA! That reminds me of a story: I was telling a guy here in rural KY that I was from seattle. He said he went to Pike place market once and there was a park there and people were sitting right in the grass. He was shocked.
I told him that they can do that because they’re not in Kentucky.
BTW, I call Kentucky “The garden of eden, but with more chiggers”.
I don’t like ticks, but I HATE chiggers.
Chiggers will drive insane.
I had bought a couple bales of hay to throw over grass seed and for the next 3 weeks I was scratching chigger bites on my legs and in my groin. It was really annoying.
Assuming that my research is accurate, it said that if you are exposed to chiggers and you get in a hot shower and soap up well and rinse well within two hours you will not end up with a bunch of bites. They claim they don’t bite immediately.
Are chiggers those tiny red bugs that got in my belt line and bit the hell out of me while I was doing survey work in the woods and fields in Alabama ? - Tom
