CateP,
So the lesson to take away from this one is don't feed the ducks. Not on Mirror Lake, Not in Meridith, Not anywhere. They poop in the water and cause duck itch and e-coli.
And when you go in the water in any of the lakes, you are safest with some sun screen before you go in and a brisk dry off with a dry towel when you get out. (Don't air dry as this is what the parasites like to make residence)
I shower in lake water probably a 100 times a year without a problem. (But we discourage ducks from our area and don't have any shallow water areas)
And remember, don't feed the ducks.
