Yeah, maybe dirt, maybe even some bacteria, but not that amoeba. It's not like a bacteria that your body could potentially fight off or develop natural immunity to. It's an actual organism that bores holes in the human brain if ingested, leading to death. Diving into lake water or anything that would put you close enough to stirring up the bottom of a natural warm water body is what puts you at highest risk, and that would potentially happen at a water park. Thus, the law being put into effect in FL and the closure of River Country. Of course, nothing changed from one day to the next and odds are that we could all swim and never be affected. But apparently, odds are also high enough that the risk was deemed too great.
But otherwise, I agree that we're over-sanitizing and it's causing immunity problems. It's just not the case as far as the FL law or Disney's risk potential.
