    Unless you’re going all out with clothing-as-armor, naked is better.

    Chiggers can’t directly get a grip on your flesh, mouth parts too weak. They gotta back that ass into something to get started. Like your clothes.

    Ticks are instantly observable because without clothes you can feel them tickle. In any case, you can see them before they lock on.

    Mosquitoes? I got nothing.

      Idk, long sleeves, pants and socks seem to work fine for me. But maybe I am just genetically lucky or something, it’s been a while since I had one bite. Oh, and obviously taking a bath in icaridin.

      I have had many ticks but never could I feel one of them walk around on me.

        Most people seem to have a pretty bad sense of touch.

        During certain times of years you get a lot of single spider-silk threads flying around and I constantly walk into them. But almost no one else seems to notice them.

        I recently have been bitten by quite a few ticks and can never seem to find them until days later. They are so fucking tiny, smaller than a grain of sand! Oh yeah just feel my legs? How do you tell the difference between a tiny scab from a thorn scratch or a tick then? Usually only find them once they have been there for a while and got bigger. Which isn’t exactly ideal.

      I have two defences against mosquitos.

      Thick body hair they tangle in, and my body acclimates to regional mosquitos so I don’t get itchy.

      Hairy leg people might not be that safe.

      Every time I read or hear “chigger” it always sounds like a slur

        I don’t dislike all bugs but those damn chiggers, man

        Woah, it’s chigga for you

      Well you put your pants into your boots so the ticks have to climb all the way to somewhere where they can get on your skin. At that point you might be at home already and can strip away your clothes and yeet them to the washer

      If you think your clothes will keep dick ticks from happening then you clearly haven’t encountered many ticks.

      Aight, Imma tell it.

      Showering and saw a tiny black spot under my dick in the V-shaped area where the shaft meets the head. Thought it was a piece of dirt as I had been fucking around at camp and getting filthy. You already know how this ends.

        Oh no.

        That was way worse than mine. I was probably around 5 years old and it was on my balls. I had no idea what it was, but fortunately, my parents quickly picked up on what was going on since I was grabbing my junk a ton that day. I was fine and it was just a dog tick, but the whole encounter was still nasty.

        Damn bro, getting your dick sucked for ages for free!

        That’s nightmare fuel right there. I don’t even have a dick, and I still cringed in horror.

    It’s nice to take such affectionate little cuties home with you
