Op, report back if you are still alive!

Please report back even if you've passed on!

OP is a liar.

[/i]Puerto Rico does not have natural lakes, although it has 15 reservoirs, commonly called lakes, formed by damming the main rivers to produce hydroelectric power and water for irrigation.[i]

Seriously doubt op jumped into a “lake.”

I’m freaking out that the brain eating amoebas that kill everyone whose brains they enter got in. I know it’s incredibly rare but I also feel like getting a lot of lake water pushed way up your nose is fairly uncommon. Help.

When the amoeba starts to attack the brain, the patients first starts to feel terrible anxiety...so I don't know what I should say to you...

It’s pronunciation I’ve had 3 glasses of wine but I am cracking up right now.

OP here still alive. I never said it was a “natural lake”. I don’t know the proper nomenclature, but it is a body of water made up of freshwater not connected to the ocean. The resort confirmed that the water is not treated.

Many many lakes are man made. Your citation doesn’t say there are no man made lakes in Puerto Rico. Did you read before you posted?

Especially one in…Puerto Rico, which is probably super polluted! What were you thinking?!! Consider this a lesson learned!

Yeah this was my reaction. Lakes in warm locations are too risky for this very reason.

So the resort allows guests to jump into reservoirs? This sounds preposterous.

+1 and the reservoir happens to be on site at the resort? Bizarre.

I recommend magic mushrooms. It will give you a different and refreshing perspective on mortality, life, and death. Or better yet, DMT. Experience an ego death first so that your physical death wont matter so much.

In all seriousness if I were facing certain death I’d just load up on all the psychedelics I’d get my hands on and ride it out on a unicorn. Really.

Name the resort or it didn’t happen.

They just mean a man made lake, when they say reservoir. I am sure lots of lakes that you assume are natural are actually man made. There are very few natural lakes around here.

For example, there are precisely zero natural lakes in Maryland. So if you life in Maryland, every body of water that you think of as a lake (even Deep Creek Lake) is actually a man made reservoir.

Here is more than you wanted to know about natural lakes versus reservoirs (the latter are usually called lakes if they are used for recreation):

Any chance OP just called it a lake because that’s what she thought it was?
