Parasite in the water!

[sparky-4]

OK, do we do do we not have a problem here?

Last weekend the Distorter News reported on a chlorine resistant parasite called "crypto-something or other" we'll just call it crypto for short.

Supposedly, this water born scourge is capable of living in pool water with normal amounts of chlorine. It has killed a child in the DFW area

Crypto can also live in lake water, I'm told

Abilene has now had 3 confirmed cases, two kids and one adult.
The news said someone is looking into where these people could have been infected. I've told my kids that pools are off limits until we know more.

What do you all think about all of this??

[howdy ya'll]

Wonder if NASA has any flights booked for Mars? I'm ready to move!:eek:

I'm with a bad sinus infection right now, something I've not had in years since having sinus surgery in '99. The Dr. wants a scan to see what is wrong.

Again... MARS anyone?!

on this morning's news they said that the one woman that has it, DID get it from a local source.
They are not saying swimming pool just yet.
