Blackberry pie v. chigger bites

This is more of a personal note than a proper post. I love blackberry pies, and every spring I go out to the nearest blackberry patch and get enough berries for 2 pies. Anyway, this year I was careless and ... the topmost thought on my mind tonight is, "Is blackberry pie really worth this many chigger bites?" Next year I'm really planning on wearing some repellant.
