ok... I am getting more and more freaked as I read this thread!!
My dd has one of the pots that is for flushing the sinuses .. I hope that ends NOW!!!
We live in an area that has a lot of lakes... I think they are brackish (is that the right word?) because we are so close to the ocean/gulf. We have gators in the lake out back... now I think I rather have the gator then worry about being tempted to swim or letting the dogs swim!!!
There is another house we were looking to purchase that was on a beautiful lake with a beach... people do swim in it. My friend told me that in summer it was very dangerous because of some bacteria or dangerous... but I don't think he even knew about this one... gross .. and sooooo sad for the loss of life!
I don't know why we have never heard of this before? Is it because of the lack of rain in some areas?
