No, the water is not fine. I just got stung by some kind of stingray or jelly fish. #Georgia #TheSouth

And everyone was swimming around me, so I figured I can wade in for like 2 min and come out. Nope....

Watch out you don't step on rodent droppings either:

Proper clean-up methods for areas that may have rodent activity can reduce the risk of contracting the disease. Those steps include:

  • Open all door and windows for 30 minutes before cleaning.
  • Do not stir up dust by vacuuming, sweeping, or any other means.
  • When rodent droppings or nests are found in and around the home, spray them liberally with a household disinfectant and allow them to soak for at least 15 minutes. Any rodent droppings and rodent nests should be sprayed with a pesticide to kill fleas before disinfecting or disposing the carcasses.
  • After disinfecting, wear rubber gloves and clean up the droppings with disposable materials such as paper towels, rags or disposable mop heads.
  • Seal all materials, droppings or nests in double plastic bags and dispose of them in the trash.

Having researched it now, pretty sure it was a motherf*&$ing stingray.
