Summer is in full swing and with it comes the good, like sunshine and time with the grill, and the bad, like insect bites. And if you’ve spotted the odd bite but can't see any bugs, you’re probably wondering what caused it.
And while the most common culprit are mosquitoes, there is another blood-sucking pest you should be looking out for this summer. According to experts, small insects called "chiggers" could be the reason for your woes. These tiny mites mainly live outdoors in grassy or wooded areas near water, and can attach to your clothes and bite your skin.
