Hi there,
I seem to be the queen of swim-related skin reactions. Sea Lice, reactions to water in the Bahamas,
This time, I am wondering if anyone else is having a reaction after the Save The Bay Swim in Newport, Rhode Island this weekend.
I started to feel something during the swim, thought it was sea grass in my suit, and tried to ignore it.
When I got out, I saw that it was some kind of reaction, which steadily grew in intensity over the day. I spoke to a nurse who said it was a contact reaction, but I'm not so sure anymore. She recommended Zyrtek, which I took, but it's continued to be really bad and seems to swell throughout the day. It itches like crazy and, well, it's just yucky!
Anyone else experiencing something like this?
Thanks in advance!

I saw 3 or 4 lion's mane jellies near the start when I was warming up, but only felt the little guys that squeeze between your fingers after that. I did not wear a wetsuit, and had no reaction afterward.
Did you find the current tough to get through at the turn into the cove?
