Hottone 7, You argee with who and what :-) I mentioned before that the people I spoke to with these red bumps and itching have all said that they were affected in the areas of thier body that were in contact with the water. For myself, in these last couple of months that its been cooler I always go straight to the edge of the womb and take my cloths off and get in. I haven't spent any time around the grass and bushes there. Chiggers don't live in warm water do they? Hopefully a water test is not too expensive. I don't see this whole thing as a big problem, but it is a nuisance.
