Reply to comment by ScumbagMacbeth in New to the city/state/country any flora or fauna to be vary of in new jersey? by adenp

I thought chiggers was a southern thing, I've never heard of anyone getting chiggers in the Northeast. My family and I have camped for many years and never had chiggers.

I've had them twice, once hiking in NJ and once from sitting in the grass in Greenwood Cemetery in NYC.

Huh. I've lived around here my whole life and never heard of anyone getting them. I wonder if they're another gift of global warming?
