Welcome back to the Oh My Allergies! Podcast. Have you ever went to a pond, lake, or an ocean to swim and afterwards had a skin rash? Well, it may not be a chlorine rash or reaction to saltwater. You could be dealing with a condition called swimmer’s itch. In today’s episode, we are talking all about swimmer’s itch also known as cercarial dermatitis. We discuss what is swimmer’s itch (cercarial dermatitis), common symptoms of cercarial dermatitis, whether you can catch swimmer’s itch from swimming pools, and so much more! Tune in to learn more about how a parasite commonly found in freshwater or saltwater can cause a non-contagious skin rash and the process for swimmer’s itch to infect bodies of water.
