Wow. Tell the family that there’s no concern because you have a better chance at getting struck.
Odds don’t matter in this situation for the family going thru this.

God Bless you Kaiden. God Bless your parents, siblings, and the doctors caring for you…

This is what happens when you allow the sewage to flow in the ocean!
Our septic tanks over flow due to heavy rains and it flows into the ditches and out to the ocean!
THIS WILL ONLY GET WORSE AND I NO LONGER SWIM IN ANY NATURAL BODY OF WATER,SALT WATER AND FRESH WATER!
Florida has become over crowded.

Be careful in warm fresh or brackish water I’m from Tampa and I have always held my nose when swimming or wear goggles it’s worth the precautions because even though the odds are low it can always be you.

Amoeba lives matter too, if Darwin has deemed that boy to be food, let it be. Clearly the amoeba is the stronger fitter animal here.
But ya…thoughts and prayers….SURE!! Big daddy gods got it ALL under control!! JEESAASS will take care of him. TRUST!!
Evelyn Finney
I pray for you and Caleb. I could only know I can’t imagine what you’re going through. Bless your hearts and And bless Caleb. I have faith he will pull through this he looks to be a strong boy. And when he does y’all can celebrate. Keep the fait.

I bet if they performed a test on all members of Congress in D.C., they'd discover that most of them are also suffering from brain-eating parasites.
