[You lay down in tall grass and weeds in Texas, you’ll only do it once. The chiggers don’t take kindly to interlopers! 😫]


I’d beg to differ. Chiggers love interlopers - anything with blood flowing through them. It’s hard to love them back, though. While it would be nice to love them long time with a napalm strike, it’s hard to explain the patches of brown on your front lawn to the neighbors. Gets the HOA riled up.

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.
