~a water born amoeba that thrives and multiplies in the heat of the summer in fresh water ways including lakes, rivers, ponds and hot springs.
Although rare, fatality rate is 99% so in Kyle's memory, we are dedicated to spreading the awareness of this horrible amoeba so others can be armed with the information and will have a choice.
