jaketapper Let us know how bad. I grew up in Va, read Misty as a child and to my 3rd graders as an adult. I tear up when I think about Phantom being let loose to go home. Please keep us updated.

Its not mysterious. We know exactly what it is (Pythium insidiosum). Global warming has resulted in this organism being present in standing water much further north than previously has been reported. Its a terrible disease that is hard to treat and often fatal
