(I sent this some hours ago and it didn't show up, so there may be a 
repeat - apologies.)

They might be Chiggers, the larval stage of Trombiculid mites. I'd be 
curious to know if these occur in Nova Scotia. Some people are amazingly 
sensitive to these; I know of one person who itched for some months 
after walking through grass with these beasts in it. That was in 
Trinidad, by the way.
