chigger bites

When out picking blueberries I got chigger bites (2nd year in a row). This is nothing compared to last year though. It's concentrated on my ankles but I have them from my feet up to my chest. I had about 70 bites last year and it was excrusiating! I only have about 20 bites this time. They are really itchy but mostly, they just hurt and have all this pressure from the puss. If I don't pop them, they just keep getting bigger and bigger and cause more pain than when I let the puss ooze out. The oozing is gross but really important to feeling better. This year, I can wear shoes, last year I was unable to. This is painful and annoying but definitely easier to live with than my last experience with chiggers.
