Lions and tigers and amoebas, oh my!

When I read this article, the first words out of my mouth were, quite literally, "what the hella?" I can't make up a headline as good as the one featured in this article - and I quote: "Six Die from Brain Eating Amoeba After Swimming".

Full stop. Brain eating amoeba? Huh? Huh?

Apparently these wee little beasties are partial to warm climates - maybe the only thing I can be thankful for as I look out my window and see snow, snow, and more snow (and what's the forecast for the night? Take a guess...)

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
