That sucks, the business will likely be blamed by some even though they did nothing to cause it.

Any warm body of stagnant water can contain this. Lakes etc

The amoeba is commonly present everywhere in fresh water. “El Futuro” is not responsible for the boys death.

That organism is also present in warm tapwater, ponds, lakes, rivers, big puddles, and just about anywhere else with warm fresh water. It's why you don't use tapwater in a Netty pot.

Wow/ I thought moving water you’ll be ok.. only stagnant water will lead to the parasite… is there no filter or chlorine to kill it ?

I thought the water had to go up the persons nose quickly. How’d that happen in an outdoor water feature that’s so shallow?

Likely source means they’re not 100% certain

The way they would have NO idea that was sitting right on their property. This whole thing is awful and I do hope their business survives this.

All joking aside, this is probably the best reason not to pick your nose (as I pick my…)! I wonder if he touched the water and then touched his face whether he is picking his nose or not could’ve dropped utensil. He wiped it off. We don’t know.

So we’re all going to say “water feature” now like that’s a term that’s been in use before today. 🙄
