chiggers

Last Sunday, Jess and I went to my parents house for Father's day. Around 5:00pm, my dad and I decided to go out to the Bear Creek Park Trail, this little walking trail near a creek, and take some pictures. The "chiggers":http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/nathis/arthopo/chiggers/ didn't like that I was there at all, and the mosquitoes weren't too happy about it either.

As far as I know, I've never had a chigger bite before. Let me tell you, they hurt… bad. Jess counted about 15 mosquito bites across my back, and I have at least 15 chigger bites on each ankle. My back itches like crazy and my ankles burn like fire. My dad said he got bit up a little too, but, by the sound of it, not as bad as me.
