Diana,
As far as I know, we havent got chiggers here
in Sydney, Australia - or blueberries either for that matter, although they
are being cultivated here a little now. BUT we have got lots of other
things that bite photographers. I got bitten by sandflies this last weekend
while lying on the beach (no sharks in sight though).
Thanks all - I hadn't guessed that they were
nasty bitey things.
cheers Catherine

Where do you live, Catherine, that you don't have chiggers in
the blueberry patches? I might move there. ;)

Catherine,
We all got
chiggers that day, including Sam Wang, Sandy King and myself..... and they
aren't a joy!
You can google the little bastards (you can't see them
because they are so small), but unfortunately you can't google them
away!
Tying your pantlegs and then showering with warm soapy water
and washing your clothes after venturing out will help. If they do bit
you, I found an oral antihistimine also helps a lot!
Best Wishes,
Mark

This question is waaaaay OT,
but I need to know - what are chiggers?
The feeling that I got from
Chris's post was that chiggers is an illness,
and from Peg (just
below), that chiggers is something to look forward to.
many thanks,
congratulations, and I hope that the exhibition goes well
best
wishes
Catherine
