Should have taken that amoeba to to the DNC convention, it would have starved to death.

that amoeba has been around for many years

there was a case from Lake Marion 40+ years ago

they primarily live at the bottom in the debris, it’s not a predator out swimming around looking for noses to enter

don’t stir up the bottom, don’t swim in real shallow water and don’t ingest water up your nose

I remember a big scare in the mid 70’s. Mom banned me from swimming in the pond. so I only did when she was at work.

What’s different is back then they said it was from non-flowing water. This dude got it at Martin’s landing. River is running strong right now. :question:

The little girl died last night. A pretty rare and isolated event but, I’m sure that doesn’t assuage her parent’s grief right now.

Awful. It’s scary at this day and age (especially if you have young kids) that there’s still things out there that can kill so quickly, and there’s really nothing modern medicine can do about it.

Sorry to hear that news -
