Read a few articles about amoeba-related deaths to 10 kids over the past three months in lakes in the Florida area. Not so rare IMHO.

I wonder if this is more an issue this year than in previous ones. It's been very dry in the mid-Atlantic area this summer.

I think the actual number is like 3 deaths.
Not so rare until it happens to you.

One of those deaths was from a swimming pool.
