It was an amoeba that increases in population when water becomes stagnant. As long as there is fresh water coming into Lake, there is no danger from this amoeba. In times of drought, the springs & creeks that feed into Lake Murray dry up. No fresh water comes into lake & t gets stagnant. It was prevalent in all the lakes & ponds in OK from 2007-2016. From 2017 til the present time, the springs & runoff have been supplying an adequate amount of fresh water to keep this amoeba from being dangerous. We swam there June 1-4 & the water had never been fresher.
I heard of this years ago but I have no clue about any of it maybe you can go to lake Murray State park.com or Google it even I'm not sure sorry I couldn't help have a good night.
Wow don't know about that one .maybe you should stay inside because the mosquitos or the texas lone star ticks if they bite you, you can't eat steak anymore.thats worse than any brain eating disease I can think about.
hahahaha... Rickey is this a real question? I think the brain earing bug your referring to is amoeba that lives in all water but will thrive and be more abundant during very hot stagnant water. This is a natural occurrence that can happen anywhere.
