Never heard of them before. Still seeking effective treatment

And another reason to leave trail shoes outside, post ride.
Seasick Steve did a song about chiggers. That's all I know about them. Sorry
Sorry, it had to be done.
Our new pup was getting them. Vet gave her a jab that then killed them but only after they bit her. She seems clear of them now but that was 3 weeks of uncomfortable scratching for her as they got on her paws. 13 weeks old now and back to being a bouncing blob of daftness.
Our Border Terrier gets them - they live in between his toes and he goes mad scratching and licking at them. We scrape them out every few days with the back of a fingernail - only takes a minute or two.
Probably works for something that size...spatula will be needed in a few months time for me....
After watching that mango worm video I think I'll skip the planned snack before bed. 🙂
