Plug Your Nose!
Friday, July 27th, 2007
Volusia County Health Department urged swimmers Thursday not to swim in freshwater lakes and ponds. A deadly microscopic critter known as Naegleria fowleri has come out to play due to warm water temperatures and ew, these guys swim up your nose and attack your brain.
So in addition to avoiding the beaches of Volusia County, you should also stay away from lakes, ponds or any stagnant fresh water… or at the very least, wear your nose clips!
