Chiggers & Other Blood Suckers
This is National Chigger Week. Chiggers are baby harvest mites that only want you for your body.
God created chiggers to teach humans how to scratch professionally.
- Chiggers chew so quietly you never know they are eating you until it's too late.
- A chigger's minimum daily requirement of vitamins and minerals is your leg.
- Look on the bright side. Chiggers are so small you can't see them and they don't eat much. Imagine how you'd itch if chiggers were six feet tall.
- Chiggers make terrible pets. Though, admittedly, it costs hardly anything to feed them.
National Chigger Week, when jillions of tiny, red chiggers will bite everybody in sight along the top of their socks and the bottom of their underwear. If you really want to frost a bunch of chiggers this week, don't wear any socks or underwear.

Today's exciting Chigger Tip:
Scratching a chigger bite does not help. It is better to tape a dab of meat tenderizer on the welt with a Band-Aid. This won't help either, but you can't just sit there and scratch, you have to do something.
Now, today's mosquito defense tip from U.S. Secretary of Mosquito Defense, General Harold "d-Con" Hawk.
- The best mosquito repellant is N,N-die-thylmeta- toluamide. Mosquitoes call it "deet."
- This is high-powered stuff. Rub it on your clothes, rub it on your skin, or for best results grab the dumb mosquito and make him drink it.
