This works for me. I have no idea whether ot not the chigger is still there but I do know the itching stops, so I'm happy.

You guys see the movie, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"? You know the father, the guy that insists that Windex cures everything????

OK, my husband is just like that about laquer thinner... I thought he was nuts until the poison oak incident. I am wickedly allergic to poison oak. Managed to crash my mountain bike into a huge cluster of the nasty stuff.

Horrendous itching. Laquer thinner took care of it almost instantly. I think that the oil from the poison oak was destroyed by the laquer thinner. Not a terribly comfortable experience to rub the laquer thinner on the scratched bits, but the short rather intense discomfort was rewarded with absolutely NO itching immediately.

**Disclaimer** I'm not a doctor, didn't sleep in a motel 6 last night and we all know that my husband is a bubble off plumb. ;)
