On the other hand, I may have to give up swimming...

[elfs]

At least, in the pool I'm currently using. Last night, and not for the first time, I had a desperate time going to sleep because I itched, badly. This happened on the last two occasions visiting the Mt. Rainier swimming pool. I took a long, rinsing shower before bed, but it wasn't until I applied an aloe vera-based anesthetic cream to my back and shoulders was I able to get any sleep.

It's really annoying, because swimming is absolutely the best exercise I get these days, and it's something I can do with the family on a regular basis, but this is beyond itching. It's Setdamned painful.
