Has anyone been in Lake Mission Viejo (sight of OC Tri) lately? I was there last year at this time and was very itchy afterwards...but did not have that problem the year before. Seems to be algae related, so I was just wondering how bad it is this year.

Thanks!!!

I was down there yesterday and the swimmers itch is bad at the moment.  Was going to get in a swim, but not worth possible getting sick, am more concerned with ingesting the water.  Its a parasite that is hosted by snails and fowl.  Humans are not a host, but the bumps and itch suck and lasts for a week or more.  Look like a practice swim is going to be a race day swim for me!
