  • Cercarial Dermatitis: What to Know about Treatment
    Information mostly gathered from Stanford University.
    Cercarial dermatitis is an uncomfortable, but not life-threatening rash, the severity of which can range from a nuisance to interfering with normal activities. Minutes to hours after contact with cercariae infested water, a person may experience a prickling sensation or itchiness where cercariae penetrate the skin. Within 12 to 24 hours, a macular rash develops on the skin that was exposed to the water.
