God, I HATE chiggers!
I wish I knew how to repel them or get rid of them. The problem is, that by the time you notice them it' s already too late because hordes of them already probably got in your skin. I got them a month and a half ago while I was scoping land around my friend' s new house and itched myself raw for the next two weeks.
I did hear that it helps if you douse yourself in gasoline
