Trichobilharzia Regent

There is an extremely itchy kind of rash called ‘Swimmer's Itch,’ which humans can experience after swimming or fishing in lakes. It is caused by a very minuscule flatworm parasite (Trichobilharzia Regent) that tries to burrow into human skin. It finally dies in the skin after being entrapped by immune response, which causes the rash.
