What is another word for trombiculiasis?
Pronunciation: [tɹˌɒmbɪkjˈuːlɪˌasiz] (IPA) 
Trombiculiasis, also known as chigger bites, is a skin condition caused by tiny mites called chiggers. These mites attach themselves to human skin and inject digestive enzymes, causing painful and itchy rashes. Some synonyms for trombiculiasis include chigger dermatitis, harvest mite infestation, and red bug syndrome. While treatment for this condition involves addressing the symptoms with topical creams and antihistamines, the best way to avoid trombiculiasis is by preventing chigger bites. This can be done by wearing protective clothing, using insect repellent, and avoiding areas with high chigger populations, such as tall grass and forests.
