Pat, as a matter of fact I did once! [pirate] I will admit I knew there was a risk. However, I've avoided it there several times in the past and have never gotten it in 30 plus years of wade/tube fishing. Guess I shoulda wrapped my rascal(ly) self. At least I think I'm over the worst of it. It began itching right after I got out of the lake. Now the rash is erupting but not as itchy. But it looks horrible!
By the way, I did notice mass amounts of aquatic snails. For those not in the know, these same snails host the parasite. So beware if you see them! I attached a pic of what my leg looks like so people will know this stuff is nothing to mess with!
