    Combining Chinese and Nigger, a Chigger is a person, typically of Chinese descent (or any other asian, since most of them look the same), who talks and acts like hes one of the home-boys. Often clad in Sean John, a Chigger usually speaks a combination of broken english and ebonics, and unlike the other chinese kids, fails General High School Math.

                  Trombicula, known as chiggers, red bugs, scrub-itch mites, or berry bugs, are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods) in the Trombiculidae family. In their larval stage, they attach to various animals, including humans, and feed on skin, often causing itching and trombiculosis. These relatives of ticks are nearly microscopic, measuring 0.4 mm (0.01 in) and have a chrome-orange hue. A common species of harvest mite in North America is Trombicula alfreddugesi.
                  The larval mites feed on the skin cells, but not blood, of animals. The six-legged parasitic larva feeds on a large variety of creatures, including humans, rabbits, wallabies, toads, box turtles, quail, and even some insects. After crawling onto their hosts, they inject digestive enzymes into the skin that break down skin cells. They do not actually bite, but instead form a hole in the skin called a stylostome, and chew up tiny parts of the inner skin, thus causing severe irritation and swelling. The severe itching is accompanied by red pimple-like bumps (papules) or hives and skin rash or lesions on a sun-exposed area. For humans, itching usually occurs after the larvae detach from the skin.After feeding on their hosts, the larvae drop to the ground and become nymphs, then mature into adults, which have eight legs and are harmless to humans. In the postlarval stage, they are not parasitic and feed on plant materials. The females lay three to eight eggs in a clutch, usually on a leaf or under the roots of a plant, and die by autumn.

                      A chigger is a type of mite belonging to the Trombiculidae family. They are known for their bites which can cause intense itching and discomfort. Their larvae are parasitic and typically feed on the skin cells of animals or humans. They are minute, usually less than a millimeter, and are red in color, making them nearly invisible to the naked eye. They are most commonly found in forests or grasslands.
