Hi,

When I pickup a wooden piece off the groud, I noticed tiny bright red
bugs, about the size of pencil dot. It was clearly visible on the
darkened wood. They left a red dye mark when squashed. Also I saw some
of them on the cement blocks that used as an edger around a pine tree.
I had a bite at my forearm, it was itchy firsh but I applied
Cortizone-10 cream and no problem after, could it be from a mosquito
also not sure. Could this be Chigger? Iam in Northeast CT (zone 6) and
not sure Chigger is a problem in this area?

Appreciate any help.

TIA

Sam.

Aside from being bitten by those ...... obscenity here.

A couple years back while clearing weeds etc. in our yard. I felt like
something hit my right leg. Looking down a mass of something about the
size of a US quarter was on my leg. Then it dissolved or should I say
spread about. The critters were real small and fast and I headed for
the hose to wash them off. This with a real sense of urgency.

I felt like under attack and followed the above with a very hot shower.
I've had them before as individuals but a random attack is hard to
detect.

Death to Chigger's and Tick!!!!!


Bill who may get some Guinea Hens and Quail to eat the .......obscenity
here.
