Sea Lice Recently?

[Debonna]

Lighten up. Geeze.

My sentiments exactly.

So no one is allowed to speak about anything YOU’RE not interested in? Lol, got it. Btw I’m sure plenty of other people WOULD be interested to know about the sand fleas

Um, it's off topic and doesn’t answer my bumped question nor that of the OP.

We went last April and did not have any issues with sea lice. We rode bikes and stayed on the family beach (no seaweed where they could get stuck and then released and netted). I did use Sea Safe as a sunscreen but didn’t put it around the swimsuit creases. Some tips for kids: they could wear swim tights under the swimsuit trunks and longer sleeves or use Vaseline? We are stocking up on seasafe again and will apply it this time as well. I believe they make the surface slippery and hard to bite (so reduce impact).

Someone mentioned on another thread that it’s best to talk to the lifeguard if there are jellyfish and/or sea lice in the area that day.

Warmer months or high tide conditions have higher risk

Thank you for your thorough response!

We are heading there soon. Would full wetsuits keep them from biting, or are they so tiny they'd get inside at the neck and feet?
