Nasty - a severe case of Swimmer's Itch. You're going to be miserable for a week or longer. From what I've noted a parasite caused by bird droppings infects and kills snails and seeks a host - in this case, you. That you dug in mud may exacerbate the problem.This may or may not be entirely accurate. The good news is that the parasite cannot survive in humans.
I've developed a far less severe outbreak the last time I dug quahogs. Despite the water temp I'm wearing waders on the next outing.
