Indeed, one infestation or one person's suffering is enough for me to justify a modicum of public awareness and monitoring on a regular basis by the people that receive our taxes and fees!

Well to your point, according to the CDC the parasite that is responsible for duck itch lasts no more than 24 hours in open water, so the "infestation" is done... whew!
