So I'm a resident of Lake Havasu City and this is causing a big scare here. Bunch of ppl want to close the lake, put up signs, etc, which I think is over reacting because 20 thousand ppl swim in this lake every weekend and this is the first time this has happened. But seriously, wtf? Has anyone heard of a brain eating amoeba before? I know I never had until this happened.
