There’s not much that can be done except avoid getting the water in your nose. That’s how it gets into the body.............

Nose plugs or clips is about all you can do besides staying out of the water altogether.

Here in Florida, we have ‘Flesh Eating Bacteria’ that can infect open wounds, sores and scratches on people who get in warm waters that are infested..................

I knew what you meant..............

There were multiple storms that hit southern Louisiana during their annual Homosexual Mardi Gras. It’s happened, if memory serves me, four times. One of those was Hurricane Katrina which essentially destroyed New Orleans. Thousands of residents left and never returned.

Now the same area is being visited by horrible plagues. Just like the ancient dwellers of Canaan, the land is “spewing them out.” See Leviticus 18.

Not that New Orleans is the only wicked region of our nation, but this is a preview of things to come.

There will be war and upheaval, natural disasters, famine, and disease when God soon visits the nations of this world in judgment. He is not pleased with the murders, thefts, idolatries, sexual immorality, and witchcraft. He will send severe judgments as a warning to repent before it is too late.

I didn’t read any comments yet, but I wonder I’m the first in with a Chuck Schumer or John McCain joke...?

Damn, I do love that song too!!! Well done!

[Red Badger]

Yep.................

Democrats are safe from the amoeba

The Terrebonne Consolidated Waterworks District issued the notification Sunday and has temporarily switched to a different disinfectant to kill the organism.

It's an amoeba in a public water system.

Making Flint look like an amusement park.

WE can’t drink public water in Salem, Oregon due to a toxin from blue/green algae. It may last all summer.

LOL! Me too. But I LOVE Arm and Hammer nasal saline when my sinuses go nuts during allergy season.

And a women from India told me about a Neti pot and that led me to nasal saline. First time I used it something came out of my nose that shouldn’t be in a human!!! And I felt much better.

BUT Naegleria is not rare in American tap water and very common in lakes, rivers and ponds.

It being in your nose is not a problem but if the water is coming up your nose with force that’s another story. It seems to be able somehow to travel through the thin bone plate at the top of your nose into the brain. Bottom line... Hold your nose when you cannon ball!

OTOH DnUnDa we have:

Huh?

[DoodleBob]

Ok, that’s pretty clever. Bonus points for that one.

Almost no one has survived a brain-eating amoeba, as they call it. I am sorry for your inconvenience (though I always said Oregon was the last state I would ever choose to live) but this was in the water coming from their taps and hoses. People were afraid to take their kids to the lake, but thought filling a pool in the backyard from their own water was safe. Or letting them play in the tub to cool off. Or having one of those slide things outside with the hose was safe.

This amoeba cannot be treated. It has a 98% fatality attached to it.
