Thanks for the Chigger/chiggar information.
However, even if it is true that the pesky no see ums dont borrow under 
your skin,  I can give first hand testimony that amonia or bleach does work.

That out of the way,
   I wipe down with bleach while in the shower. If I somehow dont get 
this done and get chiggars, I use a rag  with bleach or amonia on it 
until  I have
rubbed hard enough that it really stings. This happens for a second and 
then the itch is almost always complety gone.  So why does this work if 
the chiggar is not under
my skin?  Perhaps  it is completely drying out the feeding tube thing 
that your article says is the source of the itch in the first place.
Here is a supposed scientific link to  suggest that amonia works:
