chiggers are little bugs tiny, almost can't see them ... sumthin like a flea, I guess ... ya get them when outdoors in tall grass, etc... they like to bite ya where your clothes are tight, waistband, tops of your socks ( I wouldn't even want to think about wearing a thong ) ... anyway, they leave little red dots, and itch like a mo-fo ... put a drop of clear fingernail polish on them, that does the little bastards in ... uhhhh, it doesn't have to be 'clear' polish, ya can go with designer colors, too :hippy:
