That’s right "Chigger" and you should see the size of the one I cut off my pup.... I will post the pic later...

It is a monster, the size of a dime !!!!

In case any one doesn’t know what a chigger is, it is a over grown tic, deer tic, spotted rocky mountain tic.

They are nasty, by far worse than any bee sting. If you get one that bite you do not try to knock it off, the results can be devastating to your health.

The best way to knock it off is to use fingernail polish remover from your wife’s {or your own} beauty kit. Better yet put a bottle in your tackle box and hunting vest.

If you do end up knocking it off get to a doctor clinic or hospital "ASAP"

When they bite they burry their heads below your skin and anchor in. knocking it off will result in the head disconnecting from the tic body and can cause really terrible infections...

In addition to this, these nasty little critters also carry lime disease from deer and mice in the woods. And the spotted rocky mountain variety is poisonous.
