You left off deer flies, which are worse than any of the parasites you listed. I would happily flip a switch and permanently exterminate all of them, even though lots of critters eat them.

I can deal with the Flys they don't try to go into the body.

Chiggers is on the top of my least favorite. You can't tell that you were in them until a day after they are out of you.

Deer flies. When they acquire you as a target, it only ends one of two ways. #1 you kill them. #2 they bite you. They don’t quit until one of the two happens.

Deer flies are nothing, I'm a beekeeper. Got into a mean one today.

Deer flies go in deeper than ticks, by distance and make you bleed. From personal experience, hundreds of deer flies put enough blood running down into your eyes to make you and your buddy consider jumping off a 20 foot cliff and swimming back to the parking lot. They hurt when they bite and their bites itch badly.

Gnats, they go into every orifice available.
Skeeters next, can't stand the buzzing.
Ticks suck too, and carry multiple diseases.
Deer flies are a minor issue here, but hurt the most when they get you.

Down here on the coast it's greenhead fly's and salt marsh mosquitos, The flys teach you how to tap dance and the mosquitos block out the sun, lol

gnats are bad too and we have more ticks then people.....depending on the day and location they all can take their place in the first spot....
