I had them very bad almost completely covered from neck to waste from rolling down a hill in Texas. The only relief I could get was taking very hot showers and them turning the water to straight cold water. It stopped the itch for a couple of hours, then repeat. I was told the only way to get rid of them was to pour Kerosene on them and set them on fire, when they come out for air, stab them with an ice pick.
I wasn't brave enough for that, so it took about three or four days before it stopped getting worse and started getting better. I tried putting kerosene on them and it seemed to help but everything seemed to help and nothing really did, I just really wanted it to. It more or less ran it's course.
I think they should use this as an interrogation techniec instead of water boarding. They'd only have to do it to them once and threaten to do it again and they would tell anything we wanted to know.
