I have them in my back yard in Yuma, Arizona. The larval stage appears every year between May and September. My back yard has lots of vegetation so it is a breeding ground for them. My immediate neighbors yards are filled with gravel and little else so they do not have them.
How they got there, I do not know, probably came in on a plant I purchased (I ended up with a snail infestation that way).
My doc informed that the reaction and blisters are classic examples of chigger feeding.
I have learned how to protect myself against them but I forget every year to take precautions until the first itching and blisters show up.
After September, the adults hibernate until the next breeding season.
no
I just spent a weekend at an RV Park in Williams, AZ . I can tell you they have chiggers! Came home with about thirty bites on my itchy little body. After ten years of camping in the area, this is the first time I have encountered chiggers.

Chiggers don't seem to be contagious, but if they are, it's hardly contagious at all.
It is definitely possible to get bitten by chiggers in Maryland. Chiggers are a type of tiny, red biting bug. By the time a person realizes they have been bitten, the chiggers have usually fallen off. The best way to treat a bite is with calamine lotion.
Chiggers (Trombiculidae) feed upon the skin of animals by attaching themselves to their host .
No chiggers can not spread and neither can the rash. But you can find chiggers in a grassy area. And it comes around the rainy summer time.Off your clothes, yes. Once they are in place on the skin, no.
Might be chiggers.

Yes, chiggers are tiny red bugs you may see in the summer they are bright red and stand out.
