^ That is correct, chiggers do like me. Ticks do not, though. I don't think I've ever picked up one and if I did he didn't stay long.

/\People here carry duct tape to remove seed ticks.Works like a charm.I rarely get the adult ticks,but if you hit the magic spot where a group of nymphs are(not the fun type of nymphs),you can easily get a hundred on you in one spot.Looks like black pepper.The tape removes them all,maybe some leg hair at the same time.They are seasonal,right when the pawpaws get ripe in late July/August till a good frost.
