I've been lucky to have only gotten it once, but it was just as wretched as getting sea lice. For anyone who doesn't know, sea lice is the plague in the ocean from Palm Beach to Miami, from Mother's Day to Father's Day each year. The larvae of the Portuguese man-o-war jelly fish dislodge from the seaweed and attack you where your bathing suit is tight against your body. Your tenders. The resulting insanely hot itchy bumps that torment you for at least a week are on par with the worst case of poison ivy you've ever had.
Of course, with poison ivy, run out and get the calamine lotion and spread it on lavishly, but also hit the health food store for the low dosage of homeopathic rhus tox. I hear it works wonders, and if I'm unfortunate enough to have to try it, I'll let you know how it goes.
