Swimmer's itch (cercarial dermatitis)

Swimmer's itch patients become infected by a parasite known as a flat worm. The parasite burrows into the skin of people while they swim in an infected lake. The parasites are released into the lake by infected snails. Once in the skin the patient experiences an allergic reaction causing the symptoms of redness and itching. The infections are more common in the summer months. Swimmer's itch is called cercarial dermatitis.
