Swimmer's itch is caused due to a parasite called cercaria. Swimming in a pond or pool that has infected snails can lead to rashes caused due to the penetration of this parasite. Although it is not contagious as the parasite dies as soon as it enters the human body, the rashes developed can cause itching. The symptoms usually disappear in 1 to 2 weeks. But to relieve the itching, you can use a cold compress or bathe in baking soda.
