Didn't know about it repelling chiggers. Yes permethrin, is supposed to repel mosquitoes too. That company also has socks, that are treated also.
About 30 years ago, a guy from work went deer hunting, and then cleaned it and several other's deer also. Apparently he didn't check himself for ticks after. He got lime disease, and just couldn't handle that it happened. So he got in his car, left home with a shot gun, drove to a secluded spot, and committed suicide. Everyone at work was shocked, and couldn't believe it, at first, because no one knew he had gotten lime disease. Once everyone knew, then they better understood why he did it.
