Description
I went snorkeling in La Jolla Cove in San Diego, CA. I spent approximately 5-10 minutes in the water before calling it quits on account of the horrible smell coming from the water. I am now dealing with an annoying, itchy, red rash on the trunk of my body. There is currently an advisory posted by the county that states that the level of bacteria in the water is high. I'm assuming it's swimmers itch. I'm self-medicating with anti-histamines and am trying not to scratch it. Live and Learn!Additional Data
