If you were not out in the brush/grass then it's a no brainer you would think!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Was waiting for someone to mention....go to ER or Doc. Oh the joy of Canadian health care.( took two pages) Sure glad in our parts of Canada there are no chiggers. Your immune system has been re-activated from years before exposure. Be care full of secondary bacterial infection now.

Did you ever notice driving around that you see mattresses out on the lawn that people who rent to Mexicans and other foreigners? Common sight here and as others have already informed you that you were bit by bed bugs, you know where the source was in the bed you slept in.
Back in the day the old folks around here used to talk about bed bugs back in the 30's, that was from immigrants too. Minnesota had Swedes they imported for lumber camps who had half a dozen variety of lice they would crack for sport at night. The old remedy was kerosene rags on a kid's head or kerosene wiped around all the bedsprings and bed. The miracle of DDT got rid of all of that vermin, and America with what has been dumped into the states could use a good dusting. The information on DDT was bogus. It saved Europe from typhus after World War II, and would save Americans from chagas, the tick diseases, mosquitoes and clean all the bed bugs and brown recluse out of homes, as the modern insecticides are not keeping up with the two legged carriers.
As a warning, you better wash your clothes, bedding, and everything else, because odds are you brought your vermin home with you. Well said.

I ended up with chiggers because of a brain fart, I knew better and didn't follow my regiment because I was caught up in being with siblings and taking care of our kin's graves. It was precious. I quoted this because I think star flakes is right.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

What regiment were you serving with ? Where did your regiment go ??
Ohhhh The battle of Mountain Gravesite Chiggers !! I remember now ! The MGC is for a select few and although I respect them, I am a member of the NCA, No Critters A Loud. Very strict, as to not allow critteristic beings on our persons. WE use both Permetherin and Deet and of course duct tape, color optional to accommodate gender neutrality. We are about killing all critters but we do not kill them according to gender.

Good Lord, I was in SE Kentucky and seen a lot of things in yards but not mattresses. This was a very nice home we stayed in. If the culprit is bed bugs then I'm gonna be PO'd. Is there any other possibilities? You can be rich and well off and still have bed bugs. My son worked as a pest tech....and said , never put your luggage on a bed. Those critters can jump in your luggage....and you take them home to your house.

Catch22, having the poor luck to have experienced both types of vermin, I lean to Chiggers as your culprit. They tend to be on the ankles and legs. Bedbugs nail you all over your carcass. Bedbugs are notorious for spreading via victims clothes and effects. The time I was bit up by them was after spending a night or two with my nephews (both close to my age) at their grandparents home. My mother recognized the bites when she came to pick me up. When we got back to our house my mother made me strip naked before going in the house.....she disposed of all my clothes!

DDT was banned for very good reason. Affected reproductive capacity of fish and the birds and animals that ate them. Bad stuff ! Buwahahaha!!! Another sucker falls for that old lie. So sad.
