Duck Itch...2013 edition

tummyman · 06-26-2013, 09:40 PM

After waiting all spring to hit the water, I went in yesterday to get relief from the heat. I was in for about 45 minutes just floating around. My penally for using the lake was over 50 large duck itch welts on my legs. I've had it before, but not to this extent. It appears worse than ever and it is early in the season. My location....Blackey Cove (near Center Harbor) on Winnipesaukee. Disappointing to say the least. Between mosquitoes and now duck itch, winter seems a better option from the seasonal pests that good weather brings on. And we DO NOT feed the ducks.
