I think chiggers bite everyone, just not everyone has a massive 2 week long massive marathon itchy response to the bite. Kind of like not everyone is allergic to poison ivy.
Don’t worry I’ve had ticks on every part in that region. A steady hand with a tweezer is a must
 
I had a Lonestar tick removed from my back by my Dr. last week. It had already turned red & a raised hive area the size of a nickel in less than 48hrs.
On a 10 day treatment of antibiotics now. I guess the bad thing with these little bastards is you could end up being allergic to red meat. Among a lot of other shit. The red meat allergy can show up anytime between now & 3 months if it’s going to happen.

Bad news is they’re no cure. Good news is it should resolve itself usually in 4-5 years! 😳 wtf
