Got em bad last year

Do some reading up on the chiggers. Everything I read about them says that they are generally long gone before you even know u have them. They drop off at a touch or swipe. Thing is, they feed on u and create a sort of feeding tube in your skin, this hard little tube is what causes the redness and itching as your body tries to absorb it. All u can do is medicate to keep the itch down and get it to heal as quickly as possible.
I'm no expert, just saying read up and while they're gross, they're probably long gone before you even hit the showers. Hope this skeeves u out a little less. Much rather a tick myself. Preventing getting the chigs is your best bet.
