L.A. Creek Freak 
My daughter fell in a creek (water hole up to her chest)in Agoura last week before the rains. The water was pretty stagnant looking (grey and murky) though no bad odor. She got sick with a hardcore cold (no diarhea or fever)…is there anything in the creekwater we should be concerned about this time of year?
My sympathy goes out to you, but you should take this question to a physician. There’s no way for us to know what was or wasn’t in that creek.
thanks, I was just wondering if there was anything like giardia in these parts… I grew up creeping around our creeks around here, but it’s been a while– things have changed—-there’s thousands more homes in the area…. I haven’t been in the water in many moons. I’ll watch her closely. Docs can’t do anything for a common cold that I can’t do–
