Bay, Beach & Pool
Sea lice, jellyfish stings, swimmer’s itch, hot tub rash and pool chemistry irritation - the full water-itch picture for Delmarva.
A lot of itch on the Shore happens in or just after the water. Sea lice flare in the surf in mid-summer. Jellies show up in the Bay. Pools and hot tubs have their own set of itch causes that get blamed on chlorine but usually aren’t.
This hub sorts out what likely got you and what to do before the itch ruins the rest of your trip.
