Issues with water.

Wow! we must polar opposites. I could just about live in the water 24Hrs a day. If I where in better shape.
 
I love high pressure showers but I can't stand the thought of laying in my own dirty water in a bath.

On top of that because I managed to walk into a lake well camping when I was 3 and almost drowned and then had to have numerous leeches burned off with a cigar. I'm not a big fan of swimming in lakes I will sometimes but it's usually accompanied by anxiety. Same goes for pools where there's other people but that's because of body image issues and not a fear of leeches or drowning. I have no problems on boats and I did learn how to swim when I was a kid although just enough to save my life if I fell in.

I thought you were supposed to put salt on leeches? But then, I've never gotten leeched, so I don't know. I don't know of any diseases they transmit. Can anybody think of one? Odd little creatures. I don't know what they are taxonomically.
