Yeah, this is nothing new. There are usually a few deaths a year attributed to it. But there is a spike...hence the concern. The 3 I've heard about were in Central Florida and in the same body of water.
It's also extremely treatable if you catch it early enough...but who goes looking for amoebas when you have flu like symptoms?
