Swimmer's Itch = Duck Mites?

eillac,
I should have quoted the person that I was directly responding to, that stated it was an outrage and something MUST be done. I believe the tips that were presented were valid and good things to know. I just have a low tolerance for the "something must be done" crowd with regard to the things nature hands us from her bad side. Because honestly, what can be done about such a thing, other than take the tips that were posted above. I was simply stating that there is a small list of things that are created in nature that cause big headaches for some of us and we do not need to go overboard with our reactions, just take the bad with the good and live happy. Perhaps I need to learn to hold my tongue, but I was not raised to be a mouse. So, if you or anyone else took offense to my response as something other than a "this is what we put up with" statement, I appologize.
