You're not going to catch anything from handling these fish. If you had a rash before it wasn't related to what you saw on the fish. You may have had Swimmer's Itch (Cercarial dermatitis) from contact with the water. It is reported in the Snake River in Idaho. It's the birds and snails that are involved in that parasite's lifecycle. Human's get it as a dead end host- meaning they die under your skin and humans don't develop the adult parasite.
