1. I had about six chigger bites, but they've finally stopped itching.
They were driving me BATSHIT.

Sorry about yours.

4. This helps mine when I get them...
Soak them in a tub with plenty of baking soda (two huge handfuls) and water as hot as you can stand it. They seem to itch half as long when I do that. :)

2. Only one?
Did you squish the offending skeeter before he came back for more?

I have about 5 million (OK, I'm exaggerating a wee bit). I tired a new repellent that was more of an attractant. I think it was like pouring ketchup on a french fry.

Mississippi is home to the most giant mosquitoes. They are like pterodactyls!
