For around here that's not that bad. That's how ya look if ya run threw the woods to my brothers about 1/4 mile away. If you stay out in the woods for any length of time you will turn black. Bottles of rubbing alcohol are required.
 
BTW, if you're carrying ectoparasite-infested birds(mites not ticks mind you) and decide to take the precaution of dousing your hands and forearms with rubbing alcohol, it only is effective until it dries.

Then the bugs continue their migration. THEN you need the bottles.

My husband is ready to divorce me b/c the only way I can stay in bed without scratching and getting up every 15 minutes during during normal sleeping hours is to totally sedate myself with benadryl and whatever anxiety meds we happen to have lying around. He swears I'm gonna hit the wrong mixture and OD, but hey, I'd be outta this chigger hell on earth!

Thanks for the laughs!, Jean in Virginia

Jean,

Go buy yourself a tube of Oragel. It numbs the bites for a couple of hours, and it's so good to have on hand! And if you just dust yourself with an old sock full of sulfur (get it at your drugstore) you'll never get bitten again! Make sure you take a shower after you get into any risky situations. If you wash them off they'll quit biting.
