The worst is it's been so long since I've gotten into chiggers that I thought at first they were mosquito bites so I didn't put any nail polish on them until a day and a half later :(

Could we have an "amen" for Fire Ants?

I've never heard it used as a derogatory term. Is this a case like "******dly" being a racist term purely because a few uneducated but very vocal folks didn't know it was a legitimate word completely unrelated to similar-sounding racist slang? :rolleyes:

67 misquito bites is in 45 seconds is crazy. They must have been following you and setting up a plan of action. You didn't find one planted in your tire, that had sacrificed herself to the cause?


I should've thought to check for that :o ... on a completely unrelated note, I got another flat on Sunday. Something managed to put 4 holes in my tube. I'm trying a different set of tires now :o

I think you need some Specialized Armadillos.
