Two years ago I moved from one of the wealthiest zip codes in California to one of the most modest zip codes in Tennessee. Most of the change I’ve experienced is wonderful. But this little bug seriously has me reconsidering everything. First I thought it was mosquitoes, then bedbugs. But I finally saw one of these s.o.b.’s on my skin and put it under a microscope. This is a chigger. The internet has me thinking this is how it looks when it is a nymph, because only the nymphs bite humans. The itch is unbearable—I would take as many mosquito bites any day, hands down.
