Season for Chiggers Now Here Have You Been Bitten Yet
Chiggers or harvest mites are tiny eight legged insects that bite while walking through grass and vegetation. Exposed skin areas suffer itching and a small water blister often forms by day two or three. Preventives include hot or salty baths within hours of exposure and sulfur powder in underclothing, with napthalene as another aid. For severe itching, weak iodine or an oil emulsion may be used, and ridding fields by cutting grass and spraying with sulfur or kerosene emulsion helps.
