carnivorous fauna)

My goodness, Peter, yet another 'net address!  And they say women keep 
changing things. :)

I believe the problem is what I've hear called "sea lice."  I have no idea 
what stops the itch but I know it's frustrating.

No, Sea Lice are something completely different that only occurs in parts of
Florida and the Caribbean. Sea lice can make poison ivy look like a picnic.

While sea lice can truly be a menace 8-} salt water by itself does
tend to irritate some folks' skin and can depend on the concentration
of salt in the water.  Also, in some areas, there are concentrations
of chemicals in the water from dumping that can cause skin irritation
(as well as eye and ear irritations).  An area along the coast here
in southern Californai was declared unsafe because of the concentration
of a bacteria.  Seems a large number of migrating gulls that were hanging
out on the beach were the culprits that time.  

peeeeuuuuuu

Cheers,

Jackie
