What Are the Treatments for Sea Lice for Humans?
Sea lice, also called sea bather’s eruption, cause itchy red rashes on areas covered by bathing suits. Though they are called sea lice, they aren’t lice but microscopic larvae of the thimble jellyfish and the larval form of some sea anemones. The larvae sting when they become trapped inside the swimsuit fabric and skin. The stinging mechanisms are known as nematocysts, just like those of the jellyfish. They are most common from March to August.
