Yes, Kim, chiggers are silent, sneaky stalkers. Some people aren't bothered by them, but they LOVE me. I look like a dot-to-dot puzzle, and haven't yet found a lotion, spray, ointment, or cream that truly relieves the itching.
Prevention seems to work better than any cure. I don't like dousing myself with Off or Cutter - but, for me, it's a necessity if I'm going to be in the weeds. I've heard there are some sprays for yard application - however, I'd be worried about killing all the "good" little bugs with that.
