I have lived in Washington State for a collective 25 years and I have never seen or heard of chiggers up here.
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.

No, chiggers are not insects.Specifically, chiggers are the larval stage of a family of mites. Mites belong to the arachnid -- not the insect -- class. Like insects, mites have externally-located skeletons. But like spiders, they sport eight legs.
Until the animal has died and become cold blooded with no circulation
spread toothpaste or nail polish on the bites and let the solution sit for about an hour or more if neccesary.
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.
