I know how she feels, only in my case it’s chiggers. It’s scary to do work in my forest this time of year.

Just mix a pyrethrum and water solution and spray it on your clothes. We do it for ticks at work, grandfather used the version called Raid ;-)

A local garden show said if you fill an old sock with sulfer , tie some string around it , and tap it on your legs and ankles occasionally , you won’t get bit . I haven’t tried it yet .

That's funny. I'm only scared of those when I go into the city.

Chiggers like tight-fitting clothing, such as waistbands and sock tops.

Theoretically, then, working naked might reduce the number of bites. Wear a top-notch sunscreen, though.
