I've always hated the word "chigger."
Sounds like a really bad bad racial joke!
But anyway, what the heck's a chigger?
It is a small, nearly microscopic, mite that often thrives in grassy areas. Its bite leaves big red swollen itchy welts. Worse then mosquitoes. I walked across one grassy area and got a dozen or so bites that took over a week to heal.
You know I've found that some friends that visit PR have bites that look like mosquito bites, and may or may not be mosquito bites, but they may also be chiggers. Personally, I've never gotten those. I always thought it was a foreigner thing. Weird.
At my cousin's place in Cidra there is a large grass area bordered by banana, plantain and mango trees. I've been bit by those little $@#&! when walking around back there, never have been able to see the culprits either.
is there any kind of spray like OFF! That can prevent them from attacking?
