I was reading through Exley's autobiography, "Caverns Measureless to Man", and
noticed that he mentioned an infestation of amoebas that occurred in Florida in
1971, which caused a form of encephalitis that was 100% fatal.  I was wondering
if anyone had any more information on the initial outbreak, and if anyone has
heard of any recent cases of some version of encephalitis occurring in divers
where the actual cause may not yet have been pinpointed.  Thanks for the info.
