lol. not trying to win anything, just trying to pass along information. My Bio degree has been mostly dormant for 30 years, but I did a paper on Naegleria fowleri my senior year...I selected the subject because I heard about it on the news (in the 60's as a child), and it scared the crap out of me; I had a fear of warm lakes and ponds for several years and it was unwarranted. The news blows too many things out of proportion because of shock value and both of these issues we are discussing fall in that category. Both are tragic, but are so rare we shouldn't change the way we lead our lives. However, vigilance on any flesh wound just makes sense. enjoy the lake!
