Chiggers Make Me Grumpy Show

Health Matters Radio Show

Health Matters Radio Show

Don’t read too much into the title of this show. I am speaking metaphorically concerning the… okay, I ran into a big nest, a “mite island” of chiggers this weekend and I got them on my mind. We also talk about keeping your electronic health records safe, messing with your brain to adjust your appetite, and new drug approvals from the FDA. Things will be better next week. We promise.

Tip:  Chiggers are a cousin of ticks, and prevention is the same. Mow the grass close, use DEET for skin and permethrin for clothing, and change clothes immediately after exposure.
