I read that Lake Erie is in effect a dead lake. Also there are horrific worms in it. Is any of this true?

Nothing could be further from the truth!!!
The last 20 years have seen some amazing improvements. The Hexagenia mayflies (a very sensitive water quality indicator organism) have come back in such numbers they cause auto accidents, as the roads get so slick with them. They have to use front end loaders to clean them up in some places. In the late 70's, they were thought to be completely extirpated from the lake.
Even when Lake Erie was supposed to be "dead" it was in reality, too alive for it's own good.
I could go on and on, but this is really way off topic!!!If you want more info, freepmail me.
