Swimmer's Itch = Duck Mites?

[Newbiesaukee]

I put this in the category of mosquito bites, black fly infestation and poison ivy. It is annoying, uncomfortable but it doesn't really have any serious consequences. Also, there is no easy solution from a governmental perspective that would be truly acceptable or practical. Information is available from public health authorities, but I do not see the necessity or practicality of more drastic public measures.
