Chiggers

[mems]

Aloha Adam, we hike and fish in rubba slippas all the time over pretty sharp lava rocks. I do prefer boots for hiking, but love tabis for wet wading. Mems.

Excuse my ignorance - but what are chiggers?

Ticks are my biggest nightmare over here. Only ever had one but my dogs regularly pick them up. Particularly the spaniel.

Paul, do a wikipedia search for "chiggers" and that will give you the scientific data.

Try rubbing alcohol on the bites....seems to work on most insect bites.

The rubbing alcohol works well.
