They are FOIA the county to see what permits were granted, I guess hoping to find something to sue over.

The most likely suspect bacteria is a normal free-living soil bacteria that likes warm muddy spots - doesn’t even need livestock poop to thrive.

Many bacteria that are native to soil CAN cause infections. No feces needed for Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and dozens of others.

Primary suspect right now is Aeromonas.

Wow, you literally opened the reply with “Actually”. Amazing.

I give up trying to post anything here. It just ain’t worth the aggravation, relentless mansplaining, pedantry, and strawmanning.

At no point did I say getting sick from mud was impossible so whatever internet points you all wanted to win, congrats, you win them, I guess.

This year there was rain on arrival day but after that the sun came out and everyone had a lovely dry time. It was probably the best weekend of the summer, in fact.

“Yeah, it has its whiff,” Rutter said. “That sort of peaty smell, which I’m sure is very good for the skin.”

Sure, tell yourself that.

I like and respect your informative and interesting posts. Being splained at is annoying as fuck, but I hope you don’t give up
