[ft-l] Chiggers

Okay, so now we know where to find chiggers in Florida.  I found a bunch of 
them after doing two evening hikes and a workhike last week.  They revealed 
themselves in all those unmentionable places (and I don't mean places on the 
trail).

Since we've been on the subject, does anyone have:

1.  A surefire way to relieve the itching?

2.  A surefire way to avoid attracting them in the first place?  (I admit to 
having no bug spray on Wednesday or Friday evening.)

Maybe when we finish chiggers, we can move on to discussing ticks.

Scratchingly,

Joan
