My coworker camped at Lake Anna in July. He swam with his contacts in, and got an amoeba in his eye. After months of misdiagnoses and wrong treatments, they finally figured out what it was. He has drops to use every hour for 20 hrs per day. Worst case scenario-he'll lose the eye, or he'll need a cornea transplant. Best case-he'll have minimal scarring.
So, after two years my friend is still having issues with his eye. He had a corneal transplant awhile ago. That did not help, so now he is having his eye removed tomorrow.
I can't believe this lake is still open for swimmers.

OMG! I feel so bad for your friend, what hell he's been through and will continue to go through. I think of all the summers I spent swimming in lakes and this could have happened to anyone.
I hadn't seen this thread until now and I can't believe that they haven't closed the lake for swimming, fishing, etc. There were a few people in this short thread who know of someone negatively affected by swimming in this lake. WTH are they waiting for before they close it down?

You're a LOON :)
I have been going to this lake for the past 20 years. We go several times a year with a bunch of our family. I see no reason to shut the lake down. We have NEVER had a problem with the lake ever.
