Is it true that to treat a chigger bite you have to put finger nail polish on it!


Question:

Is it true that to treat a chigger bite you have to put finger nail polish on it to suffocate the chigger that

is supposedly still in you skin? Or is that just an old wives tail?


Answers:

It's a myth. Get some ChiggerX and the afflicted area will quit bothering you.

Here's some more proof if you aren't convinced.

Myths about chiggers are widespread. Many believe chiggers are some type of bug. Folklore tells us they burrow under our skin and die, that they drink our blood and that they can best be killed by suffocation with nail polish or bathing with bleach, alcohol, turpentine or salt water. Surprisingly, all these popular facts are just plain wrong.
