This appears to only happen to Hobbits.

That looks painful q-man.
Yeah they are here now but not much we can do, it's a rather large empty place.

Nah, Hobbits have hairy feet, not hands. Feet and legs are the most often and
most severely bitten place, though, from inadvertently stepping on their
mounds.
They hurt at first then itch like a MF for days. This is a mild attack from a
few years ago, picking up yard debris. I've been luckier at avoiding them more
recently, though this past winter their mounds were more numerous than in recent
years.
