You definitely don't want chiggers. Those little fellows tend to 
settle on one particular part of my anatomy. Oh well, might as well 
say it is the lower balls!! And once they get entrenched there, well, 
they are kind of ball busters.

Although I grew up in the south and this region has always been my 
home, I never in my life encountered the kind of infestation of 
chiggers and ticks that I found in the workshop this year in 
Nashville. My wife had to pick those nasty chiggers and ticks off my 
body for at least a week after I got back home.

But Peg was great to allow use of her beautiful place, and I figure I 
got more of the chiggers and ticks out at Don's farm.
