Oops! At least the water is warm, and I suspect the risk of parasites is relatively low in the flowing sections of the river. Best to take a dose of worming medication when you get home after a dip like that tho'. ;)

I'd worry about Naegleria fowleri more than any parasite...

I had to look up that one....
98% mortality rate, wtf? o.0
whoa.
according to Wiki, most people affected with that, die in the US.
or perhaps African deaths by it aren't recorded......
I was thinking about something very big and lethal instead:

i wouldn't want to float by one of those with my silly lifejacket and my plastic helmet....not even mideaval full plate armor would make a difference.

To be fair if there were hippos, they'd probably enjoy the show.
