I have heard that Vicks vaporub will help before swimming.....and an immediate shower and vigorous towel rubbing after, will help.
NOthing would keep me out of the lake......so I would be prepared. Benadryl cream.....baking soda baths......
I would treat it the same as "sea lice" bites, here in Florida. They are really stings from Jelly Fish larvae. But, the feeling is the same. Big, itchy welts.
I never had them, either, when we lived there. I hope the little ones can enjoy without being miserable.
