Yes, the kids are dancing about in soapy water...cuz it smothers chiggers. We have found it effective to soap down the yard occasionally. And that usually takes care of our problems...but this year has been so bad... that DadE went and bought real chemical killer. We have to stay off the lawn for a day. Bummer.
We know we've been exposed to chicken pox recently...and the more and more bites that kept appearing on the kids...the more nervous I became. I even called the Pediatrician...because Lubby was running a low grade fever and Emmer was whiny and tired...
I feel relieved...after talking to a friend...hearing the Dr's description...giving out some Benedryl...and Googling bug bite pictures. FYI---if you do that...make sure you have a strong stomach. We're talking medical journal pictures...ewww!
In case you're interested...chigger bites come up to a point, almost like a zit...and chicken pox are like wet blisters that scab over and then shrink. 
As for Lubby's fever...well, Lubby's finally getting his molars...I think. He got a late start...no teeth before 13 months...so it's about time! Poor bud!!
