Chigger me this...


Saturday... fine



Sunday... fine



Sunday night... not fine



Itchy, scratchy, itchy.



Here is one friend I brought home w/me from camping in the verde valley:



I can't remember the last time I got chiggers... I think I was six and we lived in Kentucky. Who knew Arizona had chiggers?!?

As long as I don't think too hard that they are just mites liquifying my tissue and slurping it for dinner I'm OK. It's great threatening the co-workers. "Don't mess w/me or I'll scrape off some skin cells on your chair". Something like that.

I wonder if Art got them too, Sunday night he was complaining about bites. And so was one of the kids. oh well!

And Barry Turley said he was bit, but they call them 'no-see-ums'.

Yep. Chiggers. Don't scratch or they will get infected.

Paul, Taya and I all got bit! But, we never felt them or felt itchy or anything (at least I hope Taya didn't too) - are these still chiggers?

Well, whatever the case, at least I can say I've had flesh eating chiggers or no see-ems in my life now. I will always tell it as some exciting story too.

Probably mosquitos.

I would like to post a photo of Bary's lovely chigger bitten legs but it might gross some people out. Yes, I did take a picture or two. I started to count how many times he was bitten and got tired of looking at his legs after counting 30. Last year when he went to Camp Raymond, he was bitten more than 100 times. He was and is miserabale. He uses tea tree oil to sooth the itchness. I am trying to figure out why just Bary and you not others. Maybe you guys just smell too good...

Oh, man that really bites!

Sung, we are all waiting for you to start your blog.... I want to see all them chiggers. Luckily I only got 10 or 15 in total. The itch has finally gone away and so are the bumps. I think they have migrated or died. Mike and James had nothing. Only a few mosquito bites. Well, james had the majority of the bites. Poor baby.
