Chiggers actually jump onto our skin, they crawl and look for a warm, moist and tight area in our body and there they themselves to a pore or follicle opening. The actual chigger bite does not hurt humans, it is the reaction we have after, and that reaction to the bite determines how long chigger bites last. Much like mosquitoes, the best suggestion to prevent chigger bites would be to wear clothing that would cover the skin.
Chiggers most commonly bite in areas of thinned skin such as wrinkles and folds. Therefore, chigger bites are commonly observed in the crotch and groin areas, in the armpits, and in the folds behind the knees. The ankles are also a common site for chigger bites. Other areas that are commonly bitten by chiggers are areas where the compression of clothing (such as belts) presents barriers to their migration. A popular myth about chiggers is that they burrow into the skin and remain there, but this is incorrect. When the chigger bites, it inserts its feeding structures and mouth parts into the skin. They inject enzymes into the host skin that destroy the host tissue.
