Oh, god, I never read anything to terrifying in my life!!!

Are there chiggers in So. Calif, or is it a Southern U.S.
speciality? That's where I've mostly heard about them.


Chiggers or redbugs are the larval form of the harvester
mite. The adult feed off of decaying plant material
while the chigger feeds off animal. They can be found in
Southern California, but I don't think as prevalent as
the Southern states.
