I think there was just one incident where some water went up somebody nose or something and died. I go to havasu and won't worry about it. Talk about one and a million odds.

it is true and it sucks. it has happened to like 20 people in the nation in the last 20 years. last year one was in havasu.

you are more likely to have lightning strike your boat in the middle of the afternoon in July.

it doesnt like moving water and i usually stay away from the merky **** at the end of some coves anyway.

It is an amoeba. A single celled organism. From what I read.

Two people died in Texas from the same thing. They seem to dwell in warm stagnet water.

Another death caused by brain eating virus . I know the chances are remote. Desert Stormers, be careful and beware.
