Chiggers seem to prefer some folks over others as well. My hubby and I can
walk through the exact same area, he will be covered with chiggers, I can't
remember the last time I had a chigger. On the other hand, in the last year
I have been bitten four times by mystery bugs (one time while I was shopping
INSIDE at Costco) that have left huge (2 to 4 inch) unusual swellings,
blisters or rashes. I guess Mother Natures gonna get us all in one way or
another. :-)

PS I know this advice has been offered many times on this mail list, but the
key to not getting PI after geocaching is to wash exposed areas as soon as
possible with soap and water, something like Purell or those little wet
naps. I'm horribly allergic to PI and I have not getten it yet while
geocaching in PI infestations. (knocking furiously on wood right now!)

Oh yeah the ticks seem to be worse, IMHO. And poison ivy? My DH has
gotten it twice so far (really bad the first time) so he isn't really
interested in going out with me anymore. Thing is, we both can ID it, but
it seems to sneak up on him.
One of the I-55 caches (hmm, that reminds me I need to log them) is in a
rest area. I was the one that tramped thru the woods, he stayed on the
parking lot. HE is the one that got the ticks, not me. Hence my crack
about getting ticks on or off asphalt. Luckily they were only on his
clothes, hadn't done any damage yet.
I've lived in MO most of my life, and haven't really had much of a
problem. Maybe I just don't taste as good as some of y'all. <G>
