[ft-l] Got chiggers?

> I did. Went hiking in Florida in the summer again. I'll never learn. :)
>
> Anyway, when I stopped at Eckerd's a couple of days later, I asked the
> pharmacist what I could do...and said "don't tell me to use nail polish!"
> They were out of "Chigger-Rid," a name product, but she stopped and
thought a
> minute. "The active ingredient in 'Chigger-Rid' is euculyptus oil...here,
try
> this."
>
> She handed me Campho-phenique for cold sores! Figuring what the heck, I
tried
> it. And it worked! Itching and swelling stopped the next day.
>
> I wonder if Tea Tree oil would work too? :)

> Cheers, Navigator
