"The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals has confirmed the presence of a brain-eating amoeba at a water station in Ascension Parish.

The news comes as a meeting is going on in St. Bernard Parish where the same amoeba has also been found."

It's pretty much there every summer. Just don't dive in lakes or shoot water up your nose.

The fact that this is a recurring issue is fricking bullshite. I wonder if the parish will be refunding water bills for the next 60 days bc they didn't do their damn job.

Everyone in the treatment facility should be fired.

Or have slip n sides, or mini pools, or dunk your head under water while bathing, or do a myriad of other normal everyday things that kids and adults do during the summer.

So much for good public schools in Ascension if the water eats your kids' brains regardless.
