My evil dark nemesis was chiggers.
Anytime you're around livestock....better watch out! I've had my crotch, armpits, inside of my elbows and behind my knee's infested in the damn things. 3 - 4 days of agonized itching. Again, something you can simply spray off with soap and water.....
My last encounter was Ranger School in North Georgia where we were helicoptered into an LZ on a farm. We moved through a couple of pastures and then up a ridge in the woods. When we stopped I promplty stripped all my clothes off and doused myself in water, as well as shake my uniform and T-shirt out. Everyone just sort of stared....but a couple hours later I was much happier than they -- even though I still had some, not nearly as many.
