Front page news - newsjournalonline.com: "It sounds worse than a horror movie: A microscopic critter just as deadly as an alligator usually lurking in the muck goes up a swimmer's nose undetected to attack the brain.
This scenario is rare, but happens in this area enough that the Volusia County Health Department urged swimmers Thursday not to swim in freshwater lakes and ponds.
Water temperatures reaching higher than 80 degrees bring the amoeba known as Naegleria fowleri out of its lair to begin the feeding season. With the ocean temperature at 80 degrees, that's happening just about now."

Not so strange. Since swimming in a Cape Cod pond on Wednesday, my head is afire. Must be something like it.
Hope it doesn't attack your brain!
