Extension Agents can help with pest identification and management options, but situations involving human health need to be handled by your physician. I found an article by Colorado State University Extension that you can review as to possible causes, including chigger bites, which can occur occasionally in your state. Here's the link: http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/bug_bites.html Please contact your local Arapaho County Extension office for additional assistance: Website: http://www.arapahoeextension.org ; email: csu-extension@co.arapahoe.co.us ; phone: (303) 730-1920
