Same thing happened to me. Never saw any duck itch in almost 40 years on the lake until one day a couple years ago I was raking leaves and cleaning out some rocks that had fallen into our little beach area. My son and I got a good dose if the itch from our knees down. The little parasites must lay in wait on the bottom. I'm diligent about shooing away the ducks now. That was a miserable experience.
