swimmers' itch

So apparently, I've been bitten by swimmers' itch.  And unfortunately this is not me itching to get swimming.  It's a harmless parasite that is in small lakes (Gullivers not Lake Ontario) this time of year, that burrows into the skin and dies! Nice! The body react with red itchy inflammation spots and I am literally covered.
So just thought I'd share one of the joys from this adventure to go along with my funny tan (back half tanned; front half white) and great rough skin chaffing scars...
Just so you know and still talk to me when you see me, it's not contagious!  But I hope itching to get swimming is!
