A heartbreaking loss in Columbia has put the spotlight on a hidden danger in our local lakes. After 12-year-old Jaysen Carr tragically passed away from a rare brain-eating amoeba he encountered while swimming in Lake Murray, his family is pushing for answers and greater awareness. This amoeba, Naegleria fowleri, can enter the body through the nose and cause a deadly infection. The Carr family is calling for more information and safety measures around freshwater swimming spots. Have you ever thought twice about swimming in local lakes? What precautions do you think should be in place to keep our community safe? #Health #BodyHealth #LakeMurray
