Intelligent Design?


Why did God invent chiggers, and why did he send 20 of them to
attack my "bathing suit area" after yesterday's yard work?



Update-for my (lucky) readers who have never encountered chiggers, I've included a link to the wikipedia article on harvest mites. No, I don't need to go back to the Lentz Clinic.

Pseudo-Syphillis, a raging headache and chiggers.
You've had a big week.

I don't claim to understand why the good Lord thought we needed chiggahs. I do, however, feel confident that He did not intend for us to have to get a mental image of your ay-ree-uh.

Get you some Aveeno itchy stuff and put it in a bath and soak.

Chiggers, my friends, keep you honest.

Oh, I am so sorry.

I once thought they were apt punishment for kissing a boy in the woods when I was twelve. I certainly didn't do that again.

What the heck is a chigger?

Unfortunately, it isn't true, Huck. We did some research after my husband was bit last year. That horrid itchy spot isn't the chigger itself, it's called a cytostome (sp?) it's a tube it made in your skin, through which it drew blood. It will "itch like hell" until it heals.
