chris Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 An unidentified 12-year-old died Friday after being infected with an amoeba while swimming in a Florida lake. Man, if that doesn't suck nothing does. Just one more thing we have to worry about. Oh well. If the super virus's weren't enough.

Radical Edward Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 the thread title made me laugh. I had this bizarre image of a huge amoeba swallowing some kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I have to admit, that sucks a lot. You can't even swim in a bloody lake for fear of being killed by a microscopic piece of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I shouldn`t laugh, but I too, pictured Steve Mcqeen in the "The Blob" for a second or two. was his immune system perculiar at all? as stuff like that can make you violently ill, but rarely kills?

Dave Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I've never even heard of it until today to be fair. Apparently it's an extremely rare occurence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
