An Oklahoma man has died after contracting a waterborne disease while swimming in a local lake, the Oklahoma State Department of Health told OKCFox.com.
The man, referred to only as a Carter County resident, contracted Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), a rare infection that derives from contact with Naegleria fowleri— also referred to as the brain-eating amoeba— while swimming in Lake Murray, a 5,700-acre lake in the south central part of the state.
