LMAO at the west coast boy that never heard of a chigger!!!
Actually,..he's probably laughing at all of the ones that KNOW what they are..Most people that know what a chigger is have had their ass torn up by them..

Then they learn about calamine lotion, and the alternative uses for fingernail polish.

In southeast Texas where I am originally from, we call them redbugs...

Yup. My grandmother put me in the tub when I got them as a little kid and poured a few ounces of pine-sol in the bath water.. apparently that's how they did it before the war...
 
Good point. WTF is a "chigger"?


Chiggers AKA Redbugs are like noseeums but they do not fly. Fire Ants have made a huge dent in the redbug populations and almost wiped out ticks (in some places). Been junkyarding for more than 40 years and I got to tell ya, those Pick Your Part places are very civilized compared to the old school places in the weeds and sticks I grew up frequenting. Love them both but as I get older, that huge gravel area with stands under every vehicle does have it's appeal!
