There was a plenty of them in SE Nebraska. They especially like ankles, waist lines, and the giblets just below the waist line. ARGH The no-see-ums in Florida are just as bad only smaller.

PA has them. Worse infestation I ever had came from groundhog hunting when I was a kid of twelve or thirteen years old. I fell asleep behind a hay bale while watching for woodchucks to show themselves.
The next day and for a week after I suffered as dozens of them fed off me.
Eh...wot?

Easy to keep off of you. Get some sulpher from a druggest, shake a half teaspoon down each leg, or put in your pockets. Works slick, I've never got a chigger when I do that! We have a bumper crop of them here! There must be side effects if it's sold through a druggist??? Used to just be on a shelf in the drug store, didn’t need a prescription or anything like that.

They leave me alone. I know some people that just the act of going outside attracts chiggers to them.

We have a bumper crop of them here! There must be side effects if it's sold through a druggist??? Not many places to get sulpher anymore, but no it is not a drug and no perscription required. And no side effects that I have ever heard!

Trillions of them here and they love me. My dad and I spent a day cutting weeds in a bean field one day before we left my mom said we should spray down for chiggers. My dad told her he had never got a chigger from a benfield. The next day he was right he had zero while mom counted over 4 hundred on me. Needless to say my dad got in trouble for that.
Won't take no prisoners,won't spare no lives.
