Chiggerex ointment (which I bought at Walmart) really helped to subdue the itch. They are "supposed" to bite us on the torso, or wherever elastic clings to the body. Don't your chiggers know nuffin?????

I always thought they were a Southern thang, until we got some in a load of bark chips. Now they have made our deck their home.
First time I got chiggers, I was sitting on my dorm porch in Northern Iowa.
I had one episode that was so bad while in the Army, I swear I was itching for at least 6 months!
