naturegirl Report post Posted July 25, 2015 I swim all the time in the lakes and I'm fine. It's like my recent tick encounter, you just need to make sure you don't have any hitchhikers on you when you leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khmer6 Report post Posted July 25, 2015 I've encountered what I believe we're leeches. Creepy as heck. It's was a TINY dirt tank under a tree in the middle of the desert. Not many other tanks or streams near by. Opening days of dove season hunted over this puddle. Went to retrieve a bird and Wtf?!?!? Some quarter plus size looking black things like eels swishing around. Nearly lost my breakfast. Idk where they come from and where they go when it's dry. Maybe host animals? Lots of burro and deer tracks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
