I think parents give their kids too many vaccines and antibiotics, and worry about things like amoebas in lakes... Being a worry wart like this actually makes your kid more prone to disease and injury. Don't raise a living bubble boy....

Sorry if this is short, but if you are seriously keeping your kid from a lake because of AN AMEOBA.... come on. More people did from shark attacks every year, run from the ocean. There are car accidents, stay out of the cars, children! Listen to yourself here people.
Comatose Reviewed by Comatose on . 6 die from brain-eating amoeba A story I saw on msn............ 6 die from brain-eating amoeba in Phoenix lake waters -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com I'm just thinking how we (my family) used to go swimming in lakes all the time when I was younger, and although they state this is a very rare thing to get, I don't think I would swim in a lake again. Or allow my daughter to either. Rating: 5
