Never went in the water! Now I'm glad!!!

Thanks for the URL's, brought back some nice memories. I was 8-11 years

Yeah....bladder cancer from a dip in a cool lake! I don't know if I'd take
little kids fishing there, unless there was a second adult to make sure
their hands never went near their mouths until they'd washed.

It could be that these problems are relatively recent. I was in PR from
1951-1954, about 50 years ago. We fished from the bank. I don't recall any
warnings or worries about getting in the water, however.
