GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) ?The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission 
?has closed the Mormon Island State Recreation Area swimming beach following reports of swimmer?s itch.
Officials say the beach will be closed for two to four weeks. Mormon Island is near the interchange of Interstate 80 and U.S. Highway 281 south of Grand Island.
Community health nurse Katie Wichman told Local media reports?that swimmer?s itch is a skin reaction that occurs when a parasitic flatworm enters the outer layer of skin.
The parks superintendent who oversees Mormon Island, Mark Clymer, says there?s no way to be certain the parasites that cause swimmer?s itch are present in water at the beach. But Clymer says similar conditions last year forced a temporary closure.
