99,
After diving in Cozumel, I received an itchy, rash-like series of tiny, red bumps that initially formed on my lower torso in the vicinity of my love handles. Over the next four days, the bumbs spread up (primarily) and down (secondary) my body. By day 2, a not-so-abundant outlaying of these tiny, red bumbs had reached up to my shoulders. On day three, the same itchy bumbs moved down my body (mostly a large concentration on my buttocks and hind legs where my shorts would cover, but some on my front thigh region) all of the way to a couple of bumps around the ankles. I have put some anti-itch cream on them and that seems to have a slight improvement. Also, about 3 or 4 days prior to receiving the tiny, red, itchy bumps, I caught a mild cold with symptoms of a sore throat and congestion (fever unknown), but that is probably decompression-related nasal stubornness and a drunken sore throat...it is Cozumel afterall. Any idea if I caught some crazy local disease or an underwater bacteria?
