Wait. Have no hair on my legs most of the time. Except after the chiggers got me. Didn't shave for four days. Then shaved. Big. Big. BIG mistake! You are right. Burns would have been better.<BR/><BR/>L_O - Huge difference between poison ivy or poison oak and chigger bites. Would have been thrilled - THRILLED - I tell you - to have one of those. Chigger bites? No. Never, ever. Again! Scared for life. Not kidding. Scared!Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-84593199815566734172008-09-01T09:08:00.000+03:002008-09-01T09:08:00.000+03:00In a messed up sort of way, I wouldn't mind some c...In a messed up sort of way, I wouldn't mind some chigger bites right about now.

We were totally, totally covered and believe me we were not rolling in the grass! Those little blood suckers are vicious creatures!!! Vicious, I tell you. And yes, "me bum" itches!<BR/><BR/>Gill - Time went by much, much too quickly. Can't believe we leave in a few days. We JUST GOT HERE!!! But at the same time, it will be good to get home.<BR/><BR/>Chris - I would happily trade all of these nasty chigger bites for mosquito bites. Happily... I am still fighting the urge - and not always winning, I might add - to scratch. DH got a "few" bites - none of them above his knees. Me? You cannot imagine when I say I am covered with them how many I actually have. The ONLY place I didn't get bit is from my elbows to my hands. Everywhere else is covered with nasty red puffy welts. [And, yes, as I commented to Mud - even "me bum!" TMI. TMI.]Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-39834078747323800482008-08-28T06:18:00.000+03:002008-08-28T06:18:00.000+03:00I dislike chiggers even more than mosquitos.

I might as well have gone home, I certainly didn't learn anything after fighting the impulse to scratch (and losing badly!).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275693383313990356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-33901607886570334152008-08-28T02:20:00.000+03:002008-08-28T02:20:00.000+03:00gosh the time has flown by hasn't it....enjoy the ...gosh the time has flown by hasn't it....enjoy the rest of your stay....GillGill - That British Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456247587052149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-58039817444092522042008-08-27T17:44:00.000+03:002008-08-27T17:44:00.000+03:00One year we were in Wyoming and a young girl from ...One year we were in Wyoming and a young girl from Great Briton was sitting in the grass. I told her that if she hadn't sprayed she should not sit in the grass in shorts. "You cheeky Americans think you can fool us don't you?" I walked away. A little while later in one of those famous toilets with the wall open at the top I heard the girl say, "Mum, me bum itches." Without any time to think, I said, "Chiggers" and walked away.
