I found this bit of information on chiggers you may enjoy. I have not tried the aspirin trick, so I do not know if it works or no. The rest I can vouch for though. This is a quick read with some worth while information. When you finish up go get your copy of Chigger Remedies before you leave. You will be happy you did. I promise.

allergic to these).If you still have chigger problems, read The Best Control; or The Best Control II
