Chiggers suck

Steve came back from camping with about 100 chigger bites on each leg, mostly on his feet.  The itching is making him crazy.  At first we thought they were mosquito bites, but when the itching didn't go away after a couple of hours, you know you're in for a rough week because chiggers bites itch for such a long time.  I think the itching associated with chiggers is one of the most uncomfortable, uncontrollable itching I've ever experienced.  I'm glad I didn't get any, but I do feel really bad for him!  And technically, chiggers don't bite, they make a hole in your skin and then chew it up.  See, learn something every day, right?
