Kind of like Della here?
There really was one crawling around on her but I removed it after I stopped recording.

After having one on me, I'm now freaking out over every little itch that I have. Hope this feeling goes away soon
By mid hot summer I will be paranoid about going out without bug protection on, but mostly because of the chiggers. But I'm still not a big fan of ticks, but at least you can see them.
I didn't know what a chigger was or even exsisted till my fiancé was talking about them.. I looked at him like he was crazy person and he was confused on why I was giving him this look hahahahaha

Ugh!!! Chiggers 
There is nothing worse than a bug that will burrow under your skin. Blech!! I avoided trees that have moss like the plague growing up.

Chiggers were a part if life growing up in Tennessee. We used to put clear fingernail polish on the itchy area to smother them. But, to me, a tick is the most loathsome bug around Just disgusting, and dangerous too. Kill 'em all

Wow. I'm thankful I've never dealt with chiggers!! I remember a friend's little brother got them on his lower legs in southeastern MN. I've seen here a mention of Kentucky and Tennessee. Shoot. I live near KY and there's a small chance we might move to TN. Guess it's good I don't hike as much here as other places I've lived.
I couldn't find the latest tick thread but boy they sure aren't going away this year. I pulled a stuck one off Elroy last week and today I pulled 2 really embedded ticks off hubby that he couldn't reach. The ones on hubby were both deer ticks so he called the dr and he's putting him on antibiotics and I have Nexgard for the dogs but just a heads up that the warm weather many of us are having is keeping them active.

We only had one (crawling]) on Annie this year but a couple (crawling) on my hubby! And that was in the Spring. But, yes, with the warm weather I'm not letting my guard down and thinking tick season is over.
Not at all!
Interesting that people are still seeing ticks. We haven't seen any for a while now which seems odd to me because they were the worst I've seen earlier this summer. It's not like we sit around inside either. Riley and I (and now sometimes Cinder) do a pretty good hike everyday through woods, fields and around water. You'd think we would come aross at least 1 because it's been really warm here.
