A local family’s heartbreak is pushing for real action after their 12-year-old son died from a rare brain-eating amoeba found in Lake Murray. They’re urging South Carolina to start testing lakes and require public warnings—something that isn’t happening now. Right now, infections aren’t even tracked by state health officials, and there’s no requirement to report them. The family’s attorney says this lack of oversight leaves everyone in the dark about real risks. Should state agencies be doing more to keep our lakes safe? What kind of changes would make you feel safer at our local swimming spots? #News #LakeMurray #PublicHealth
