Chiggers and the Great Outdoors

Kids love to explore, but there is always a chance while playing they may get any number of ‘bites’ from any number of insects.

Chigger bites are hard to miss.  This is one of several articles that helps you see if your bites look like those of a chigger.  And, some tips on how to protect your or your family.

You might get very hot with long pants and sneakers, so there are some other ideas here.  Have any of your own?
