Can't help it, I love my flip flops but I ca not stand it anymore. I have THE worst case of chigger bites. Horrible, nasty, itchy red bumps and I am a week out after exposure. They will take at least another week to heal.

So itchy.

I bought some boots, Asolo "Fugative" Gore Tex, sweet boots for hiking streams an forest.

I am now looking at gaiters, it is so sad. I've gone many trips without one single bite but then I get them and it is unbearable.

What is your story? You got chiggers in your area?

How do you treat the bites?
