[pct-l] Feet

[Pamela Bryant]

Hi to all hikers,

I would love to hear your stories especially since we had a lot of snow and
stream crossings in the Sierras in 2017.

Question: How did your feet feel being wet all day and for an undetermined
length of time? And also hiking in snow and rain? And after your hike ended
how did you care for your feet?

When I hiked Northern WA, it rained for 6 days in a row 2016 summer. After
ending up at the Northern Terminus my whole body became itchy, very itchy.
It kept me up for many night for at least 2 weeks. I soaked them in Epsom
Salt baths.

My feet became swollen, with red blotches, and was very itchy, and of
course constant peeling. And it lasted for a couple of weeks. I used so
many different types of lotions, trying to keep my feet moist throughout
the day and to control the itching.

My hiking partner had *absolutely* no problems with her feet. Amazing.

Thank you in advance! Pam
