HEALTH TIP

Avoid swimmer's itch: Watch where you wade

Swimmer's itch is caused by certain parasites that normally live on waterfowl and freshwater snails. To reduce your risk for this itchy rash, avoid swimming in shallow areas of freshwater lakes or in areas where swimmer's itch is a known problem. Although uncomfortable, swimmer's itch typically clears up on its own within a few days.
