Wiki, now there's a source.

You are missing the point. The point is, both are rare, you can get either from lake water, you stand a better chance of not dying with NF.

About three deaths per year in the US is average, in 2011 there were three, all three from jumping into a southern lake.

I agree that NF is more common but of those NF cases that caused death in the US last year, how many were from lakes?
