The area is Wolf Creek at Lake Shelbyville, where there is a VERY high number of deer. They were definitely deer ticks and not chiggers. Besides shaving my head, I sprayed myself with Bug Stop killer, and bathed, which got rid of most of them. I still picked off a few throughout the afternoon. Had to spray my clothes, hat, shoes, shower, the towel I dried off with, the floor and the rug. Those things got everywhere! I've never seen ticks in such numbers.
