You would think that since I live in Texas, I would be more careful when it comes to chiggers, but you would be thinking wrong.
You see, chiggers are sneaky little creatures. They are generally not around in the fall, are long gone in winter, and it's pretty safe in the spring up until late spring. Then you better watch out!
Every year I tell myself that they are not active until I go one step too far and have to live with the mistake for a week or so. I even found a poem to remind me of the vicious little critters, it goes like this:
CHIGGER
An elephant would be no match
for giant chiggers in a patch.
But since we have to have the chigger,
let's be grateful he's not bigger.
