AVOID THE TREES!!!!!

[Kevind62]

Man, been out twice in the past week and a half fishing. Both times came home with chiggers!! Trying to fish some tree bases along the banks and just brushed a couple limbs. Weather was nice so short sleeve shirts. Won't be making that mistake again.

Ugh! Red Bugs eat me up too.

Kevin .... chiggers like me so much it wouldn't surprise me if they swam out to the boat to get to me.
I'm just glad they don't have wings !!

Haven't had any of those in years. Knock on wood I don't want any either. They eat me alive

Them chiggers eat me alive. I am leery about going into the field or woods this time of year because if them. Poison ivy never bothered me but them things are torture.

If I’m out in grass,woods as soon as I’m home I put mix a quarter cup bleach with 3/4 cup warm water, jump in shower, pour it on my hands a little at a time and start at waist rubbing myself down to my ankles. Even if you already have bites it kills them.

Always heard clear fingernail polish on the bite will smother them and kill them.
Old wives tail but might work??
