    Just read a bit about this today. So far I've learned that it was previously only known to appear in green algae in freshwater lakes, isn't necessarily due to direct contact (i.e. not just swimmers), not previously known to infect humans, etc, but it apparently does make you a bit stupider. It also makes mice a bit stupider. But I don't think you can get if from your scrubber...just sayin...
