ahhhh me too! it's torture... and suffocating them in clear nail polish doesn't help them stop itching and then I just scratch it off again... oh man. I went camping for 2 days and only got one chigger bite and then I go to the free graffiti wall and fall into the bushes by the creek for about 10 seconds and I have at least 20 bites, and got stinging nettles... how does that happen?
i heard some guy doing some literature readings on NPR a few weeks back and I never caught his name or the name of his book, but he was CRACKING ME UP. it was all about chiggers. and he was like:
If you see a person on top of the Eiffel Tower and you find out he's from the south, that beautific look on his face is not the "Wow, Paris!" kind of look. It's the "Wow, no chiggers! And even if there were, they'd never get me up here!" look.
I moved to New York and when I go home to the south everyone asks me why the hell I wanted to move to NYC and I just looked at them and said "There are no chiggers." and they all went...."OH." /PARAPHRASING
they're not scary! i mean, they're scary b/c they bite you and then the bites itch like MAD but in reality they're teeny tiny and you can't even see them. they're larvae of mites.
What! Do they feed on your skin and grow?? This sounds like a Scary Story story ... if you remember those! Except they liked to write about sacks of baby spiders exploding on people.
