Nah. They are their very own type of parasite.
From your explanation it sounds down right hideous.
Have you seen this? Frightening!
Prayers up for these families...
It is. Pigs in the area? We used to swim in a long (3mi) borrow pit for years. About 12 years ago 2 kids got a dose of swimmers itch and that ended any swims in the canal. We've been parking our asses in the river for a long time; when you're there, thats the best!!
Failed to mention that there was a big bump in the nutria population prior to the kids getting the itch. Then the snails, then the alligators adding to the soup; parasite city.
BTW I carry a Mod 29 6 1/2" whenever I leave the camp; the lizards have gotten really big.
My prayers are with the families of these youngsters, that they may find comfort and strength during this terrible time of loss.
That would make a great tagline 8>)
I've been in some murky waters myself as a youngin. We have a large creek nearby that works fine for a swimming hole near an old railroad bridge. It runs off of Mt Rainier so it's cold. Real cold. No big lizards, just salmon coming home any time now. Time to get the smoker ready.
Mt. Rainier et al. Gotta be real cold even in the summer and fast. Well down here we talk about Mississippi (M) and Atchafalaya (A) rise and fall and fisherman up and down the rivers task their days accordingly for freshwater fish. The outlets of these rivers as fish producers is unparralled. I do love smoked salmon but tuna. The best.
Was this in Tulsa? Mohawk Park? Isn't that where the zoo is?
