well...don't really fish anymore...

[Simp]

and now im kinda scared to. last week i saw an article in my newspaper about a bacteria in the local waters that got in your ears if you got in the water, and basically ate at your brain, ultimately killing you. it also said 6 people had already died from it, and that there was no cure. now what that means to me is that that bacteria is very possibly on the fish that i would be catching, and just wiping my hands off after tossin em back wouldnt effectively rid my hands of the bacteria were it present...so if it couldnt enter through my skin right then and there and travel to my brain, then i may scratch or touch my ear a little later on, and boom, bacteria in the ear...so really, something i loved to do, even though i was having a dry spell, i really dont want to do anymore.

anyone heard about this or know what it is or anything about it?
