From Cali?

All our lakes are completely empty. No fish here at all. And the alkaline water will kill you if you try to swim in it. Fry you like that monster at the end of "Gremlins."

If the water doesn't get you the venomous Goliath Slugs will. They live in the mud at the waters edge. They run about 2'-3' long and have a single 3" fang that packs enough punch to take down a horse. There's no antidote, either.

Right now's thier mating season when they are the most ornery.

Best thing for you to do is just stay in California. Tell everyone you know to stay away as well. It's for thier own safety.
