Chigger Fleas
'The voracious insects waited for storms...then rode the winds in search of prey. The worst of it was, one could not see them straight on; only from the side were they visible' (DG, UK MMPB, p.163)
The chigger flea's bite results in weals and a cedar-chip bath was suggested as treatment, though this was probably to deal with the remaining fleas on the victims' bodies rather than as a balm for the bites. (DG, UK MMPB, p.168)
