    This is how I rank the seasons:

    Fall > Spring > Winter >>> Summer.

    I have a heat allergy .

    OH! I don't know of some foreigners/northern people know about chiggers, Sam! I WILL INFORM (since it's what I do EDITOR TO THE RESCUE!)

    They're these super tiny bugs that get along your waistbands and socks and well just all over! They like to eat skin cells (not blood) so they make you really itchy with red bumps all over. You get them if you're in a grassy/wooded area and it's more humid. ICKY BUGS cause you can't really see them D:

    I just thought everyone was being racist, but still polite enough to censor the word.

    Aside from the beach and mowing the lawn, I do those all year round and I live in Sweden

    CHIGGERS ARE THE WORST

    Yeah, I was actually telling my aunt about chiggers the other day. She had no idea what they were. I was like, "Basically they're invisible bugs, and they bite the trout out of you and cover you in huge bites."

    Might be the same thing, just a different name. Chiggers is very much a southern thing.

    And here I thought chigger was another word for mosquito, which are rampant up here in the North.

    This is why I don't live in America. The bugs are both more in number AND more damaging.
