[Zhang Fei]

[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.]

As someone who has had more than one run-in with them, I am completely simpatico with your situation. I walk through with jeans and boots - they get me. My wife goes through with a knee-high skirt - no problem. Hence the comment about napalm.

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.
