Q: How early in spring after a frost would it be possible for a person to be bitten by chiggers
State: Tennessee
A: Chiggers are usually a problem in late spring and summer. Of course, "late spring" comes at different times for different areas - we just had snow recently in central NY. But from what I know about Nashville, I'd say you're still a bit early for concern about chiggers. They tend to be most of a problem once grasses and brush grow to enough height so the nymphs can crawl from the plants onto your legs. Hope this helps - chiggers are no fun!!
