Holy Moly..sat down to have a cup of coffee after the am walk, started to brush off what I thought was pollen/weed seeds...they were all moving!!!! There were I'd say close to 500 of the rats all over my pants legs....needless to say I skipped the coffee and went straight to the shower! Gamillions of little mites everywhere on my legs...I guess they couldn't get through the spandex yoga pants....

That makes me itch just thinking about it! I would rather rub poison ivy all over me that get chiggers as bad as I did 2 years ago.

That's getting kinda desperate. I hate chiggers, but poison ivy affects me a lot more than it did in my younger days so I wouldn't go that far.

Luckily I don't get poison ivy...and I don't think I ended up with any new chigger bites...but jeez...there were gamillions!

I usually get a few here and there, but when I got them 2 years ago I must have had 50-60 on each leg. I could not sleep, all I could do is itch. I still have some spots on my legs.

by midnight..I could tell I was wrong about the no new bites....my ankles and that little strip between my pants and shoes are just solid with bites...ugh..no walking in those weeds today!
