Chiggers, which are the larval stage of certain mites, do not directly transfer from one person to another. Instead, they latch onto a host, typically mammals, for feeding. Humans can become infested when they come into contact with areas where chiggers are present, such as grassy or wooded areas, but the mites themselves do not spread through human-to-human contact. Proper clothing and insect repellents can help prevent bites.
