Hmmm... that looks familiar...just like the bites on my leg! Mercer has those critters as well. 1000 times worse than ticks because you can't see'm until they have already had their meal and left. They don't suck blood. Their saliva dissolves skin which they then eat and the saliva is what causes the histamine reaction!On a side note. CHIGGERS ARE BACK.
Wash up good after your ride and spray wit feet. Just sayin, no joke

on day three with an obscene number of chigger bites up and down both legs, torso, arm, back. Death would be welcome...I'd take 100 ticks over this. F*ck Allaire. You won't see me there until the hard freeze.

Stay away....it's too chiggery
I was off the bike for 5 months and came back and got only a couple of bites, but I feel about the same.

I take a shower right in the parking lot right after each ride. It cools you off and washes off the tick and chiggers. You can also just fill some empty soda bottles with water and rinse your arms and legs. If you get the ticks and chiggers off right away they will not cause problems.
