Brain-eating amoeba suspected in SW Indiana death

Its on 14news.com that the CDC confirms it . Also confirms that me and mine will never go to West Boggs again . Maybe dump a tanker of bleach in it and start over .

That's true. Good point.

My point was that a person swimming who doesn't gulp down a mouthful of water can also get this problem....I could see where someone could read your initial post about swimming and think that if they are "careful" and don't swallow any of the water, that they are safe. I don't think so.

That is all.

Yea Moveon. I do know a little about anatomy....

Might be surprised how many Indiana lakes it exists in. Better odds of getting hit by lighting. Just saying...

So what lakes are you talking about? Are you just guessing or do you know something that we should know about? I'd like to know which lakes have this parasite in them before I go there. So Spill the beans, Please.

Just going by what they said on the news. Extremely rare.....if you're worried you should give up fishing. I'm not worried, and been to boggs since this knowing this. 3 cases in the US this year with the millions of people that went swimming. more people are killied by lightning.
