Ticks are worse. I'll take 10,000 spiders over one tick any day. At least chiggers won't make you allergic to red meat.

Good point, but man, there’s just something about chiggar bites on your bubble gum!
A few years ago, when I was out trying to find all the corner stobs on a piece of land I bought, wearing shorts and a tshirt, I was covered from bottom of shorts legs to end of tshirt sleeves with chiggers. Hundreds and hundreds of them. It was miserable for a few days, but I'll still take that over a dozen seed ticks.

Well UGA Extension can feel free to purchase me a fresh set of tighty whiteys when I walk though a web on the way to the deer stand.

Had 2 on my truck yesterday morning.
None of that stuff bothers me at all. Nothing in the woods and swamps does, but when I go to town I get so jittery that I could thread the needle on a sewing machine with it running wide open.

Cross threading is better than two lock washers.
Boy I'd like to collect a mason jar of those to toss off in the maw n laws bed!

What I'm going through right now has changed my feelings about a lot of things. I'll be poisoning my yard and the edge of the woods at my place a few times a year for the rest of my life from now on. It won't keep me out of the woods, but it will make me take a lot more precautions than I used to like tucking pants in socks and using both permethrin and deet.
What I don`t want on me though is another one of these. This varmint ate me up.

That ain't enough for me. I can't risk it again. Not a single tick, not once.

Spiders are the only reason i use a flashlight in the dark on the way to the stand. my night vision is good enough to find the tree without a light. But not good enough to spot the big spiders that like to build webs across our roads and trails in the dark.

I always leave the spiders alone. They'll catch and eat those pesky skeeters, biting flies, and gnats. At least some of them. 
So they're good to have around.

He looks like a nice dry fly.

Are you mixing the vinegar with water, or just drink it straight. I mix about a spoonful in a glass of water before drinking. Just a tiny sip of that stuff straight, is way too strong for me.
Regular apple cider I drink straight. Bragg`s apple cider with the "Mother" I mix with orange juice or grape juice. I tried it straight it nearly burned a hole in my swaller pipe.
