Last year's fairly comprehensive thread on Duck Itch is found here:

That would be "Sea Lice".
(The "
Lake Lice" topic would be found in the Boating Forum).

I had some difficulty finding it this year, but the North Conway CVS had plenty in stock. Their tube reads "sun
screen", but I think it's the same stuff as pictured here:
Directions say to apply "generously", but I've found that a very "little" will go a long way.
Disclaimers:
1) Although sun lotions are deemed effective against getting Duck Itch, I don't know that beeswax is a more effective agent. (But you'd
think so).
2) I don't have any connection with CVS, but keep in mind that
this particular product is made in the USA.
