Re: [ft-l] Got chiggers?

Chiggers are very serious.  Especially when bitten on places like feet or
hands.  These areas take longer to heal.  A few years back I got an over
abundance of chigger bites on my foot and ankle while working on the
shelter in Osceola NF.  I did not pay attention to the bites and thought I
would be ok.  Ended up going to emergency room (by request of my parents).
I was later told by my doctor that I could have lost my foot if I didn't go
to a doctor.  

So, take chigger bites seriously and take care of them!
