Recurring Chigger rash
G'day Fellas,
I got bit pretty good by Chiggers 2.5 years ago.
I went thru the usual chigger bites and itch around my lower legs(while in Florida, wearing pants with ankle high boots, but no DEET....didn't know at the time).
Every couple of months I get a re-occurance of the same/similar non itching red spots around my lower legs as well on my inner forearms and upper arms.
This non itching rash of red dots can last from a few hours to a few days. Starts quickly and ends quickly.
It has popped up every 6 months or so the first 2 years, but recently seems to be about every 6 weeks or so.
Sand fly bites on Ex here seem to correlate with the chance of it popping up again.
------
We don't have Chiggers here in New Zealand, so I haven't knowingly been exposed to Chiggers in the last 2.5 years.
Any ideas?
Can Chigger bites result in any long-term/permanent/latent issues or allergy/immune response issues?
My GP doesn't have a clue.
Cheers for any help/advise.
