One of the most feared, parasitic bugs in the United States is too small to see as they crawl across the skin in an effort to feed. It’s the tiny, red chigger and its best viewed under a magnifying glass.
Chiggers don’t feed on blood, they feed on skin. Despite their small size, the chigger can deliver a bite that will itch and burn many times worse than a mosquito bite. And the welt that forms on the skin after a chigger bite may last for weeks.
September is the month that the chigger is most active in our area. They prefer a temperature in the 70s and lower 80s and become less active when the temperature soars over 90 degrees or falls under 60 degrees. It’s currently chigger season in the Middle Atlantic region.
The good news is the chigger is not as common in the Washington, D.C. area as places to our south, even as close by as Richmond, Virginia. The bad news is the chigger can still be found in the D.C. area in isolated pockets, and an encounter with these little buggers can make your life absolutely miserable for about two weeks or more if you have the misfortune to step where they reside. Chiggers are the larvae stage of the harvest mite. Like ticks and spiders, they belong to the class Arachnida. At 1/50th of an inch or less in diameter, they are almost impossible to see on skin and clothing. Most people never feel them deliver the bite.
Much like a tick, when the chigger bites, it’s painless and initially itch-free. The insanely itchy welt appears about 12 to 24 hours after the bite. Unlike a tick, chiggers in the United States do not carry disease.

I agree with Harry, aerobic exercise is the helpful sport that boost the metabolism.
Together with aerobic, focus on meals is effective supplementary method. If you are finding candidates for your meals, I recommend wheat germ. Wheat germ is an abundant source of vitamins, especially B vitamins. Vitamin B is known to be beneficial for cellular metabolism. They may effectively transform nutrients throughout the body to enhance body function. This is the conclusion of some scientific research that you can see at the link below.
Besides, make various types of foods from wheat germ is it's other advantage. It will vary your meals so you don't need to worry about monotonic meals.
Actually, wheat germ is the permanent ingredient in my kitchen. My family love foods made of wheat germ.
Hope it could useful!
