Underwater Insect Bites???

I won't argue that socks or clothing might help protect. I probably should have said won't ALWAYS work. I suspect part of the reason those floating in a tube or toon get it more often is just more likely to be in close proximity to snails. If you swim or ski from a boat you start away from the bank where their aren't snails. If you swim from shore from a beach there isn't going to be many snails because of lack of vegetation. Getting splashed is low risk but if the water is heavily infested does occur.
