thanks to all who replied. The condition lasted only for the weekend. It only occurred when I sat down for more than 5 minutes. Even after showering. I attributed this to both sweat and damp clothes (I was camping). My wife, having just completed a paper on swimmer's itch for a bio course she was taking immediately filled my head with the schistomai a whatever horror stories. I tried applying OTC cortisone and even powder but no luck. Could have been some organism or another but as I said it went away by the time I came home. I am hoping that I can find some combination of clothing that will prevent it in the future (if it was not an organism). The funny thing is, that when I went swimming I told myself that I needed to get into some dry pants soon or I would end up itching. Boy was I right. Anyways thanks. jim *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
