Mycover scentis so good the chiggers can't find me..[8D] jk I have been through some pretty thick stuff and haven't had them yet....knock on wood. I know my father inlaw can walk outside and get bit a dozen times by skeeters in a matter of minutes and they don't seem to bother me. Thanks for the info just in case!

Whenever I get back from the woods, I take a bath in hot water and a little bleach to kill them before they burrow in, as they take several hours to set in.

Ohh Chiggers, I don't miss a bit about those lil' %^&*s.Trust me don't go out in the woods and get a good load of them, then come home, and climb in bed with your wife.:eek:
The only way your are going to avoid getting them and staying totally scent free is to get them and kill them when you get home. When I would get a good dose of them I used to sit 10-15 minutes in a half tub of hot bath water and two cap fulls of clorox. Took care of them!:)
I could handle the chiggers it was the seed ticks that really suck.[:@]
