There might not be so much in the Buffalo river, either the water is deadly enough or might not be warm enough but you never know.

That’s fucking scary. “Brain-Eating Amoeba” sounds more like a biological weapon and less like something you can catch in a pond in Virginia. ---

In FL it’s pretty well known that there is an Amoeba threat during the dog-days and that if you DO swim, you should be in deep sections where you’re not sturring up the bottom. It doesn’t seem to stop many people, but a few deaths do get reported here and there. It’s not scary at all to me. Of all the people in the southern states that swim in lakes, 3 people died. That’s probably less than the number of people attacked by sharks or struck by lightning. I’ll continue wakeboarding, swimming, rope swinging (the wussy kind, not the newman kind) and just generally enjoying my summer on the lake without worry. ---

Agreed. The numbers aren’t there for it to be truly scary. I guess it’s just freaky to me because I’ve never heard of such a thing. ---

So I went down to the Buffalo River Fest Park about a week ago and saw this. Almost (key word almost) couldn’t believe my eyes. Turns out that if you’ve gone swimming in the water there, the mercury is the least of your worries! Not for the squeamish… Check the center of the pic. ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18950&d=1315073436](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18950&d=1315073436) Close up. ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18949&d=1315073428](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18949&d=1315073428) Two pictures to prove that I’m not making this shit up. 😃 ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18948&d=1315073423](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18948&d=1315073423) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18951&d=1315073444](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18951&d=1315073444) Oh yeah and they’re just cell phone pics so photo snobs need not complain. ---
