Ginseng Hunting

We took a field trip out to the woods to do some ginseng hunting. The woods was so dry that we did not find much. Found some yellow root just in time, it was starting to die out too. At least we should have enough yellow root for the winter. Another thing we found that we didn't want to find was chiggers. OUCH! Those are just awful. I was up scratching my legs and trying to get some relief so I could get to sleep. I took a good shower and that helped. The next night started itching again so I tried rubbing alcohol and Calamine lotion then I finally got some relief. I was able to get some sleep. Next time we even go anywhere near the woods I am going to use bug repellent.
