Chiggers, not for the squeamish

     I was gardening last week, cutting down some tall mounds of flowers that were overgrown, and I must have wandered into an area of chiggers.  Usually we don't have chiggers here, but it has been an odd and wetter than normal year.  So, one week later, I am still miserable with these darn bites all over my feet, ankles, and waist area.  I must be especially sensitive because I have hives and blisters, and they itch like the dickens!  I am taking benadryl and also using antibiotic cream.  I hope they get better soon.
