    Probably.   I remember getting bitten a lot by something so small I
couldn't see it when I lived in Florida.   Here in NJ we have what's called
a "Greenhead" which is a small deerfly with bright green eyes.  -- A really
hard bite!
    Of course, in Florida you had chiggers but after a couple of months you
seemed to acquire a temporary immunity.
