I’m perfectly safe from brain eating parasites...
If this is so dangerous, why aren’t signs posted warning about this and asking people to take precautions? Where are the local authorities on this?
But apparently brain eating parasites (sounds like Democrats) are okay.
Kids have gotten it in the kiddie pool at home; last one reported on FR was a woman got it from her RV water storage tank I believe, about a month ago.
This is a (very) rare but well known risk of fresh water swimming in middle and lower latitudes in the US.
Warning signs probably wouldn’t reduce incidence much since it is already so low AND fresh water swimming on a hot summer day is a universally beloved pleasure.
put “amoeba” or “brain eating” in FR search bar, you’ll see it is a freak accident contracted in very unique ways.
In the good old days you died from old age, consumption, heart gave out, fever, accident, murder, war, and his time was up.
Whenever I swim in fresh water I put alcohol drops in my ears as soon as I get out. I learned to do that from Girl Scout camp MANY years ago.
Wasn't there a movie that used this same premise for keeping their beaches open despites reports of a predator in the waters just off beach? Hmm, sounds very familiar.
Who writes this crap? Missouri has had four cases in 40 years, so they should shut down all the recreational lakes and swimming holes? wtf.
No more swimming in shallow warm waters or at all in July, August and September when deeper water is warm.
No more motor-boating where people may enter the water, as that stirs up the sediment.
That’ll help reduce the risk.
The “Staff” writers have repeated their frightening “concluding sentence” several times (as required by today’s overly fragmented blog-style editors) to require a COVID like complete shutdown of every local lake and river.
Until what results?
Another 25 years of “No infections” locally?
Another 50 years of “Only 1 infection”?
Oh.
By the way, where does this infection come from, what are its vectors? - Warm fresh water rivers in sub-Sahatan Africa or South America? In their zealous “shut down Missouri recreation lakes IMMEDIATELY” campaign start, these writers are ignoring the big elephant in the room.
I wonder what ‘horse paste’ for parasites (Ivermectin) would do to this parasite .... if it was even tried
In addition to ChiComjoe, there are numerous other Demonicrat politicians who appear to be potential survivors of the brain-eating parasite.
The website seem far right conservative. Wonder why they are pimping a left wing socialist trope “the government must save us”?
Do the math for total exposure over that time frame and I’m sure clear sky lighting strikes while playing golf on a Saturday has a higher fatality rate.
But I fell for the click bait so well done Patriot Spotlight and Red Badger.
They should watch Jaws.

All kinds of words about “intensive care”, etc. But, when did they diagnose the cause? Three days into his four-day death sentence? The death is because meds (not gov’mt — the doctors) sat around and waited.
This is like getting snake bit and the Dr goes on about filling in forms and was the snake hurt.
