A few year back I developed a creeping eruption as it is called in medical books, better known as 'Nuria Itch'. I’ve had it 10+ times over the years and it always had to run its 8-14 course which starts on your leg and stops at the neck unless it has enough life to keep going back down again. This time was special though. I sat on a rope that had just been pulled out of the mud and it started on my butt and some travelled up and the other down. I was determined to do research and find out how to kill it. I found out it was a nematode called strongloides myopotami and it lived inside the nutria until it made its way out on a 3 inch log ride where it disperses and looks for a host (hunters skin). Well, I found there was a medicine called Thibendazole (Mintezol) which is basically a dewormer. I went to the doctor with paperwork in hand and told him that I had nutria itch. He had never seen or heard of it before but took the papers, did research of his own and wrote a script for it. BAM, gone in two days. Since then, 3 people came to me to find out what I had used and told their docs. Those 3 people all left with prescriptions for Thiabendezole. I hope this helps as people go out in the marsh busting runs, building blinds and tracking deer this season. Doogie
