I am not sure that we are in a mini-outbreak (here in Atlanta)..........but
I would agree there is a group of kids who have a very prominent rash on
the upper arms and legs......and in THAT group, a "substantial minority" of
them, seem to have a much more "itchy" rash.
Just an observation

Seems like we've had a little outbreak of EI around here with the very
characteristic lacy rash, but all the kids are complaining about how
*itchy* the rash is. When I look up EI in the textbooks, there is no
mention of pruritis. Have you seen this too?
