Very interesting reading, especially considering the fact that as kids and teenagers, I and all my friends practically lived in the local lakes and bayous in the summertime, swimming and skiing and such.
I suppose we are lucky that none of us were ever attacked by these monster amoebas.

I think that is something else. These guys go up your nose when you're swimming in warm freshwater, so remember, just plug your nose...
