I have to say Todd, I've never heard of that around here. But I'd bet that's what the heck "these" things are!
I appreciate your input on this, for I had no clue what was biteing me and bet thats just what it is.
Right now (after being out yesterday), I'm covered to my waist in "bites"!
(I'll have to look the Turkey Mites up on line, and read into just what they are/do)
I know what they are, just never heard of them being on humans...
VERY interesting!

My idea of "Ready For Snow" is pictures on TV while I'm sitting in a lounge chair, in the
shadow of a palm tree .

Turkey mites are actually ticks in larvae form (juvenile ticks). I don't think there is much you can do other than wash with soap and water. You would probably want to wash all the cloths and bedding you have come in contact with as well.
