#Swimmers itch photos skin#
However, if initial itching is severe, scratching can cause abrasions and skin infections. In the meantime, control itching with an over-the-counter anti-itch cream, such as hydrocortisone cream. Swimmers itch is usually mild and resolves on its own within a week. Statements, short essays, stories, poems and songs can be submitted to the Office of the Great Lakes. The parasites soon die and you have itchy, red, raised spots on your skin. The Office of the Great Lakes is also accepting writings about Lake Superior or Lake Michigan. Photos in all seasons are needed and will be accepted in the following categories: Natural Features and Wildlife Cultural and Historic Features People Enjoying Wisconsin's Great Lakes and Lake Protection Activities, and the new category, Wisconsin's Working Lakes, according to Jo Temte, the Great Lakes specialist coordinating the contest.

Photos of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior as well as their tributaries, wetlands and harbor towns are eligible, with all submissions due by Feb. "Lake Superior and Lake Michigan are critical resources for many Wisconsin businesses and industries, and we look forward to entries that reflect their important economic role."

Now we're especially excited about our new category, Wisconsin's Working Lakes," says Steve Galarneau, who leads the Department of Natural Resources' Office of the Great Lakes. "We've been overwhelmed by the response to our annual contest this past year.

This wintry photo taken in Ephraim won first place in the cultural and historic features category of DNR's Great Lakes photo contest last year.
