The larvae of chiggers do not burrow into a person's skin; they also do not suck a person's blood. Chigger larvae pierce a person's skin and inject the person with a salivary secretion that contains powerful digestive enzymes.
To stay healthy, you need to continually replenish your fluid supply. Experts recommend drinking approximately two quarts (64 ounces or about eight glasses) of water each day. Of course, if you live in an extremely hot or cold area â or if you exercise a lot â you may need to drink a gallon or more of water every day.
Water is an essential part of survival, and the Mayo Clinic shows evidence to suggest that men need up to 3 liters per day while women need 2.2 liters per day. The Mayo Clinic also states that without an adequate amount of water, the body can become dehydrated and unable to carry out normal functions.
