The sandflies in the Island of Sumba killed me. I never knew it can be that itchy… all over the body. Damn.

🫂 Hope you find relief, nothing worse than itchy bites. We have chiggers here. Been pretty good this year, but I've gotten bit by them in the past and the itch is maddening.
What’s chiggers?
You know that feeling when you want to peel off your skin? Like that
They’re tiny spiders that mostly live in the southern US. Disgusting creatures.
Chiggers are microscopic arachnids (like a tick but much much smaller) they are red, but most of the time you don't see them. They get on you and you don't even know it, until 2 days later and you have these red itchy bumps usually around your ankles or your wasteband where they bit you... By that time they are no longer in you... They don't attach like a tick does. They are mostly in the south where we live.
Keeping the grass mowed helps as well as having chickens and Guinea fowl that will help control them.

Thx for sharing
Put lime juice on them when they bite
