I sort of thought there were no red bugs (chiggers) in Spanish moss, but did not know, since I had never heard of that before. I've lived in the South for 70 + years and I know that when I go out into the fields or sit in grass, I am likely to get red bugs. I ultimately have to use some of my wife's clear fingernail polish to do them in. I handle Spanish moss all the time and never have gotten any red bugs on me.
Thanks for the info, Jay. Just one more thing not to have to worry about, draping my tropical plants with Spanish moss.
