A heartbreaking loss in Columbia has put a spotlight on a hidden danger in our lakes. Jaysen Carr, just 12, died after contracting a rare brain-eating amoeba while swimming in Lake Murray. His family is bravely sharing their story, hoping to warn others about the risks of freshwater activities—something many of us never think twice about. They say, had they known, they would have made different choices. It’s a wake-up call for all of us who love our local lakes: simple steps like wearing a nose clip or keeping your head above water can make a difference. How do you feel about swimming in local lakes now? #Health #BodyHealth #LakeMurray
