I'm the one who posted this topic to begin with, and I can say with much certainty that the picture of Duck Itch posted by Rattlesnake Gal is NOT a fake! I have now had Duck Itch for 16 days, and most of the 75+ "spots" are well healed, but there are a few remaining that became inflamed due to non-stop scratching. When you are highly sensitive to it, you look like you have the Chicken Pox and are really miserable.

That having been said, I will continue to swim in Lake Winni all summer long because it's a magnificent area and we cherish every day here. Thanks to this forum, though, I have lots of invaluable information on prevention.
