Hi Wendell
I should have gone on 02, but it was a call I made myself. The Dan guy was 
interviewing me for post dive symptoms. As he ask the questions I tried to 
figure out if what I was feeling was dive related or just worn out from 
climbing the latter with all the gear on. Then I had the pain in my 
stomach  area and I could not tell if it was from being hungry as I had not 
eaten yet or something else. I took the med. that Rick uses and the pain 
started to ease. I was fine until the rash came and it was very itchy , but 
sore, as i have seen it before on me and others I knew it would go away on 
its own.
I have also seen a diver get it on his face and with a few mins on 02 it 
was gone with no further symptoms.

JT
  hope this helps
