Catastrophe! I can certainly see how you could be so disheartened, but this could happen in any ocean on any island or beach. Don't see how RCI could have been more accommodating. They obviously do a great job of beach cleaning, how else could anyone combat this ameba or whatever it is. It is in all the oceans and cousins are in any fresh body of water that gets warm on land as well. I don't get in either if I have any kind of lesion on my feet, it only takes a small pinpoint opening in the skin for these things to get in. I never get in a lake or any small body of fresh water if it gets hot. So sorry for the hell you've been through though, God bless you.
