About 20 years ago, I had the momentary impulse to taste a drop of the water from Old Faithful to find out how the taste was affected by the volcanic minerals and gasses. Over the next two days, I experienced the worst bout of amoebic dysentery of my life, so far. Imagine swimming in that water while avoiding becoming home to any of those heat loving microbes.

It was great to meet you, Mike, and thanks for taking time to share really cool information with us about the monitoring going on. If only Steamboat had erupted for us while you were there talking to us.

Dipped into the hot springs in Thermopolis WY. Had a raging eye infection until it was treated. Warm water+humans+wildlife wastes= microbe party!

When I was there in 2013, I barely dodged a spitball from one of the Artists' Paintpots. You do have to keep your eyes open, there!
