I found this link and wanted to add it to this message. It's a toxin that is given off by an algae bloom. Scary stuff.

I saw a TV program about that disease. It's nothing to mess with from what I saw on that TV show. Can't remember if it's a bacteria or something else. I think that pollution in the water increased the algal growth and then disease followed.
Now I saw pictures of fishermen getting this disease from just touching the water and it was not pretty.
That was the only time I had heard of this before. If memory serves me right it was associated with sewage.
I think this disease also eats human flesh. I have never encountered that anywere here in IN or anywhere else. I think it was something they found along the coast somewhere or it could have been on one of the Great lakes. It's been a while.
I would recommend doing a web search using Goggle or some other search engine and see what can be found. I can't spell the name so It may be hard for me to do that search. LOL I am the opposite of my old man when it comes to spelling. He could spell just about any word and I can't speeel worth a darn.
