A 12-year-old Columbia boy, Jaysen Carr, tragically lost his life after contracting a rare brain-eating amoeba from Lake Murray. While cases like this are extremely rare—only 167 nationwide in over 60 years—it’s a heartbreaking reminder of the risks in our local lakes during the summer. Jaysen’s family is seeking answers and hoping to prevent this from happening to anyone else. The community has rallied with support, and a GoFundMe has been set up for the family. How do you feel about water safety at our lakes? Should there be more public awareness or precautions? #Health #BodyHealth #LakeMurray
