Who has heard what? Since the report of a kid getting fatally ill from "lake pleasant bacteria" is the lake under some kind of new regulation?

I have been locked up working for most of the summer and wanted to take the kids out. From the impression I got from the news (because they are soooo reliable) they were not permitting anyone in the water

2 in a million, cause another kid in phoenix got the illness prior to this but it wasn't at lake pleasant.

I was out there today and didn't die.
But then again,I didn't snort lake water into my nose, get a brain eating amoeba, and lapse into a coma.

What ya going to do? Pleasant is actually a very clean/clear lake.
This is a tragedy for the family. Not a health problem for the lake.

Agreed. I just read that this same amoeba is present in the hot spring waters north of Willow Beach on the Colorado. That would be just below Hoover Dam. It's a naturally occurring organism in some areas I guess. Usually enters through the nose. Pretty scary stuff but the odds are a long shot.
