Swamp cancer , myth or legend?or real.

One day when I was 16 years old.

I gained allergies because I played with turtles in a swamp.

I walked out and my uncle bonnie said . “Ya got swamp cancer” ya gonna die! Huff ,huff ,huff.

For many years I didn’t believe him but I found out the truth what swamp cancer really is.

Swamp cancer has a number of scientific names as it is a virus and a pathogenic disease which is contagious that you can only get from a swamp.

It is common for animals to contract it like horses. But is it rare for humans to get it?

These are the symptoms of swamp cancer...

Coughing and spluttering.

Red spots or massive allegies on the hands and feet from swampy contact.

If your in a swamp for too long you develop an allergies erray of cancer just by contact in the swamp for too long.

Swamp cancer is contagious and spreads by coughing and devoloping allergies from the swamp for too long these allergies become cancer and you can die from it as the allergies from the swamp spread from person to person.

I did a swamp project at tafe and I coughed. Do I have the virus dim? Was my uncle bonnie right? Because the truth is if swamp cancer is real then all those stories he told me was true. And I never believed him for years.

Is swamp cancer a myth or legend? Or real?

I've never heard of swamp cancer but any swamp can make you sick not cancer though unless it's had radioactive waste dumped into it. Getting sick depends on the quality of water. look at the wildlife around. Are they plentiful or are they dwindling?

So I've lived in a "swamp" (native Australian word for swamp) for 20 years and then I moved...

Did I die? no

Am I contagious? no

Does TC believe in unicorns? yes

??‍♂️??‍♂️?Cooooooookooooooooo???‍♂️??‍♂️

Jk?

@npiet1: apparently swamp cancer in humans is very rare. Means it will be very difficult to contract.

@guerilla-man: you cannot get cancer for a bacteria. Virus yes but the way you describe no, it takes 15 odd years. If it's contagious from person to person. It would of been known pretty well, due to an out break at some point.

@npiet1: I simply say virus and bacteria are two different things.

Viruses and bacteria difference? One is a pathogen and the other is single celled. Yeah I know the difference.

@GTR12: any symptoms of coughing near the swamp?

The whole town is a swamp...

So no, how are the unicorns?

Get out my swamp - Shrek

I've heard of swamp-ass.
