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? |
They're saying it is bc of the extreme prolonged heat and lower water table this year. That that's the environment that grows these buggers. They're saying the life cycle of these buggers is from June through September. From what I read, they were discovered in the 1960's but have not showed their heads much here in the USA. They love extreme, prolonged heat.
