re jiggers in article ppae bt bigboote wpi edu susan wpi wpi edu susan writes a friend of mine has a very severe cause of jiggers for over a year now they cause him a lot of pain i recently read i don t know where about a possible cure for jiggers does anyone have any information on this i can t remember the name of the treatment or where i read it i ll probably get flamed for this but when i was a kid we would go to my uncles cabin on middle bass island on lake erie we always came home with a nasty case of jiggers large red bumps where the buggers had burrowed into the skin my mother would paint the bumps with clear finger nail polish this was repeated daily for about a week or so the application of the polish is supposed to suffocate them as it seals of the skin all i can say is it worked for us one word of caution though putting finger nail polish on a jigger bite stings like hell if i do get flamed for this just put jam in my pockets and call me toast kentcomm jperkski aldhfn akron oh us and kentcomm jperkski legend akron oh us
