Thanks Kritts for your report.
Salt helps for me. Rocks gets a great result with this experiment without salt being involved.
Steve asked me whether they like the tea (and thats why they come out), or if it kills them?
I'm not sure yet. If anyone else tries massaging green tea on the skin, I'd recommend having a bath with lots of salt and vinegar first.
That way they will be dead when the green tea exposes them.
You may not need to concentrate on lesions to do this experiment, as you may find that the larvae leach through intact skin very well.
