[My wife can walk through mid height grass in shirts and sandals and they don’t touch her. I walk through wearing boots and jeans and long sleeve shirt and they leave welts on my waist line and under arms.
Thing is with chiggers, they are too small to see, but leave red painful bite marks where they have injected you. And it itches, very painful itches.]

---

I don’t know if this will work for you, but one home remedy I’ve used is to rub (moistened) salt on the bites for a few seconds each then washed it off. The itching doesn’t completely go away, but the intensity and duration seems to subside by what seems to be an order of magnitude. My theory is that the salt draws off whatever chigger saliva is causing the allergic reaction that causes the itching, i.e. there’s a kind of osmotic action at work here. I rub the salt in hard enough to see some color, but not hard enough to draw blood.

True, but I think this is about money, not “justice”.
There isn’t anybody that should be held liable.
Who looks into 3 feet of weeds for humans…ever?

The mower is racist!

[... itches, very painful itches.]

Try a dab of Vics vapor rub. Clears it up in a few min. Works with embedded ticks too.

She’s fat. She’s stupid. She’s economically illiterate. Throwing money into a hole only hurts average Americans. I don’t give a damn about any other global citizen. They are free to be stupid. We certainly don’t have to force stupid on them.

You mean, to make up for all the support her mother wasn’t going to give her, anyway? Sad the daughter had a shiftless, druggie mother. But it’s hard to say, let’s take money from an insurance company and give it to the daughter, at least until we find out more about the case.

By choice? Maybe a drug-addled choice.

[gundog]

Yeah...it likely made a couple of close passes before it ran over her.

Yup Texas has fire ants, snakes, mosquitos, chiggers, poison ivy, etc etc. No deep weed hangouts here.

Her family didn’t care she was homeless and needed mental care but they are all about a potential $ettlement.

[EEGator]

Likely crazy plus drugs.

I know that his comment stuned me for a second.

It sounds like a bit much from the family, but the homeless are characteristically mentally ill and drug-addled with their families having little ability to do much for them. That is part of why California is so accommodating to the homeless. The best that families can hope for is that the police and other authorities are accommodating and assure as much physical safety as possible.

“We’re going to try everything to get justice,” Christopher said.

Justice was already served, albeit accidentally. Life is short, it is a lot shorter when you are high and hopeless.

I press hard with a fingertip for several seconds. Helps with chigger bites, mosquito bites, and bee stings, probably by dissipating the saliva or venom into surrounding tissue.

Justice=check

Same here - but locale is also blessed with the mighty oak mite. Think chigger that flies/floats through the air in late summer.

No work outside from late August/Labor Day through rainy days in October - unless it’s straight to hot shower with soap, and clothes directly into washer/dryer.
