Default Worse this season?

Is it just more or does duck itch seem to be much worse than usual? I've been loaded and even covering myself in the usual sun screen doesn't seem to block it. I've been getting it at the raft (about 6 ft deep) and at the end of the dock (about 12 feet deep) and its usually fairly uncommon to see it in deeper waters.

And yes, Benadryl is your BEST BET because it is gone within 30 mins. and you don't notice you have the itch again, unless you get new ones. The pill though, I don't know how the cream works, but taking one allergy pill makes it better in a few minutes.
