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?

reliably because the risk is so small- hardly ever hear about anyone getting it

Though didn’t rfk Jr have a brainstorm or parasite?

Overblown... you are in far more danger of getting bitten by a dog, killed by a pit bull, killed by the common flu, covid, getting killed on the job, or getting killed while driving to work.

“Only 167 cases have been documented nationally between 1962 and 2024”

If you are scared just avoid warm water in soupy green lakes. Missouri has plenty of safe spring fed, swift flowing, highly oxygenated cold water creeks to swim in.

Dont face plant going above 5MPH. Dont fill up on lake water. It’ll kill you!
