Family in Santa Cruz Mountains got itchy bites at waistband and sock lines after first rain in months. Beds cleaned, nothing found. Expert: classic chigger mite bites. Larval mites (1/100") bite where clothing constricts. They don't burrow or infest homes, but can keep biting after coming inside.
Chiggers thrive in dry, brushy areas. See chigger guide. Shower and launder clothes after outdoor exposure.
