Abstract
Cercarial dermatitis ('swimmer's itch') is an itchy inflammatory response to the penetration of the skin by non-human Schistosoma parasites. It is commonly contracted while swimming or wading in lakes. We report a biology teacher who developed the dermatitis after cleaning the school aquarium in which he kept a water snail and some fish.Entities:
