remember that kid who died in like a week after being in Lake Havasu from an ameoba, fresh wata has its cons too. However, Ive been stung by a jelly fish and its no fun for a few hours.

I would rather pick up a bottle of vinegar or 4 and ride the surf any day.

Do it enough and you get somewhat used to it.

That kid was stupid and was swimming in a area where he should not of been. I dont know why you would want to swim and put your head in 1 feet of 80+ degree smelly stagnant water up a boggy wash. What a retard. I breathe imn more water than that kid ever could, and I'm still living.
They both have there pros and cons.

it's not just stagnant water. I believe 2 people died from similar stuff here in TX last year.

1 in Lake LBJ, and 1 in Lake Buchanan IIRC.

it happens all the time in FL. it's the warm temps that allow them to incubate.

Here are some links to the Brain eating amoebas

Up here in the Northwest we do have to put on a wetsuit a few months a year but there isn't much in the way of critters to bother you. OK, the 20 foot surf is a bit rough. During the summer you can see 30 feet down through the clear water at the lake.
