Wild stories. Horrifying way to go.
The first guy was said to have gone swimming, I wonder when that was? I ask because it said the amoeba was found in warm, brackish waters. The article was written in April, and our waters aren’t all that warm yet – comparatively speaking. He was north of me, no more than 70 degree water.
The second guy was around the water during a red tide. They are just plain nasty here, far worse than on the west coast where I grew up. I’m two blocks from the gulf and just outside walking my sinuses started bothering me and chest got a little tight a the peak of that red tide. Just nasty. So, I wonder if the first guy went out just before or soon after a red tide occurred?
Other than that, the gulf usually gives life and is refreshing.
