Dreaded Duck Itch
I am fortunate...haven't had it yet. My husband got a case of it last summer.
Personally, I swear by the following:
1. use as much sunblock as you want, but right before going into the water, slather on oil -- suntan oil with sunblock if you need it. But the point is, don't be shy with oiling up.
2. towel off IMMEDIATELY after getting out of the water.
3. don't feed the ducks where you typically swim and don't swim in areas that are frequented by ducks.
That's it. Simple. And it's worked. I've never had duck itch.
Although I've probably just jinxed myself
