I was thinking back to last summer. Our back yard was so nice... except for the chiggers. I thought the little red spiders I saw on the deck were chiggers (apparently, though, they are just mites. I was wrong. There, I said it.)Anyway, on an unrelated site, I read that hunters sometimes wear pantyhose under their pants to keep chiggers and ticks off. Aside from the really great visual of hunters putting on pantyhose, I think this idea could be just the thing this summer during chigger weather. And I will definitely wear them if I go walking at Wilson's Creek... that place is full of ticks. I still have scars.

Seriously? That's a good tip! Last year, we went mushroom hunting, and I had a ton of ticks... I found one like 3 days later and freaked out. Thought I had lyme disease. I will definitely put on pantyhose for that.
