....brain-eating amoebae have taken up residence in the municipal water supply.
Things really are linked. Just the other day I was going to post this similar story as a tie-in to global climate change.
Louisiana just can't catch a break.
Is it only a coincidence that incidence of N. fowleri seems to be closely matched to the Mississippi River system? Surely I cannot be the only person to have made this observation. No. I am not speculating that "Old Man River" is a natural reservoir for brain-eating amobae. I shall remain mute on the subject until further evidence sways me one way or the other. Minnesota is the anomalous state where one wouldn't expect cases of a warm water amoeba...and yet.
I truly hope that the situation in LA is taken care of post-haste.
