BarryP member Registered: 03/04/04 Posts: 1574 Loc: Eastern Idaho	So is it bugs or wool allergies? If you spray the socks with permethrin, that will kill all chiggers (and other bugs) who dare to touch. ...Now if you have the itch, it sounds like wool allergies. Hopefully you find the cause. -Barry
