That is really upsetting and so sad. When the girl died before why didn't they check the lake back then. Maybe it could have been prevented.

That's devastating. I can't even begin to imagine the pain of the family.

This and alligators are the reasons I won't get into a lake anymore. I live in FL and most of our lakes near us have been shut down do to the potential for amoeba.

They just had this type of parasite on the show called Mystery ER, I think thats the name. Anyway, in the article it mentioned there was only 1 survivor. Well that was the girl who actually survived that parasite that was profiled in the show. But this is precisely why I do not swim in lakes. Well that and the icky things that creep into my head when I am walking on the sand and seaweed. I have a very over active imagination!!
But how so very sad, like others I can't even begin top know what they are feeling and what they are going through. I know if it was my dd, I would seriously consider death over the loss of her!
