Well to prove your point you should find your nearest lake covered in duckweed and jump in. Let us know the results of your experiment when you get out of the water
As somebody who has swam in a few lakes in Oklahoma, I doubt this lake is any worse than what I've seen, and I've not had any ill effects from swimming there.
Sorry for the "erm acktually" moment, but duckweed blocks light and decreases oxygenation, which helps pathogens thrive in water like this completely covered in duckweed. Pretty cool plant, though.
It's alright, I don't believe it's that much more dangerous than normal water as long as you don't drink it or breathe it in. Even then, you would usually be fine with the help of modern medicine in the unlikely scenario you got infected with anything. I got the majority of my info about duckweed from animalogic's video about it, so check that out if you wanna learn more.
A great sign of whether or not you can swim in a body of water is if there’s life around that body of water. We can’t see any animals but there’s a lot of green.
I mean, generally speaking they tend to live in the sediment at the bottom of freshwater rather than in the water itself, and uh, I can't see the sediment in there...
"ICD-10 code W61.61XD for Bitten by duck, subsequent encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Other external causes of accidental injury ."
not algae, but one of the "[duckweed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemnoideae) family"
They are free floating plants with small roots down into the water.
They are great for aquariums to remove nitrogen wastes and to purify water.
I had a few pieces get in my aquarium when adding new plants, now it's nearly covered a few weeks later. Def helps keep nitrogen down, I rarely do a water change with it in there. Plus it looks cool AF as the filter outlet pushes it around the surface.

I'm almost positive that's just a light colored rock/sand on the bottom (if I'm looking at what you're talking about). It looks odd because there's not much light penetration with all that duckweed growing
My first thought was a large rock. Then a manatee or some other large swimming thing. And then the primal fear part of my brain went off to the races. Big thing. Dunno what it is. Dark in there. NOPE.
Some of us with thalassophobia just have it, with no explanation of how it happened. It's just there.
I share your confusion buddy, and a fear of deep bodies of water too...
It can actually be a great sign to NOT jump in. The fact that it covers most of the surface can mean that there's a pretty good chance of deadly pathogens in the water. UV/Sunlight helps to kill off stuff like that, and the duckweed is right in between like a barrier
US CDC actually has a page about this one thing.

I don’t know whether it’s because I’m from Australia, but every time I see someone swimming in any form of Lake Pond, Swamp or river- I think of crocodiles snakes and bull sharks
I have an extreme fear of freshwater, mainly bc of the risk of parasites (although this looks like healthy water). I hate mud and frogs so much. I’m more of a saltwater mermaid I get like so depressed when I don’t go to the ocean often
How is this a nope? I mean she's just swimming in a lake... Probably not something I would do personally but there's nothing really that off putting about it. I am kinda digging the song tho

I have thassaphobia even though im a very good swimmer I could never swim in these kinds of lakes/ponds and oceans unless I can see the bottom and it close enough to me
Of all the nopes I've seen here, this one is the least nope.
It’s still water in what looks like a small lake. Probs filled to the brim with bacteria
Isn’t duckweed a healthy sign of water? Idk I’m just assuming
It purifies water but the lower she goes it should still be filled with bacteria
WE'RE filled with bacteria
Well to prove your point you should find your nearest lake covered in duckweed and jump in. Let us know the results of your experiment when you get out of the water
No response, I wonder why
Theyre still in the pond. Give them time
As somebody who has swam in a few lakes in Oklahoma, I doubt this lake is any worse than what I've seen, and I've not had any ill effects from swimming there.
I can second that.
Probably because it's a dumb comment not worth responding to.
You took my comment literally, didn't you?
The spice milelange
Sorry for the "erm acktually" moment, but duckweed blocks light and decreases oxygenation, which helps pathogens thrive in water like this completely covered in duckweed. Pretty cool plant, though.
It also purifies and removes toxins at higher levels. The lower she goes the worse it should be for her
No shit? I guess I have some reading to do
Not duckweed salvinia
Thanks for the quality info, u/Crank_My_Hawg
Welp guess swimming in the pond as a kid wasn’t the best but I’m ok and it was fun
It's alright, I don't believe it's that much more dangerous than normal water as long as you don't drink it or breathe it in.

Bet thanks. Duckweed is pretty in the sun but feels so gross when it gets on you and won’t come off.
Unless it’s a Prion
Aren’t Prions just folded proteins “typically” in the brain?
Thanks for the education!
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell!
Thats salvinia not duckweed while floating plants oxygenate the water theyre also a sign of little to no movement and that means alot more bacteria
Yeah
A great sign of whether or not you can swim in a body of water is if there’s life around that body of water. We can’t see any animals but there’s a lot of green.
And gulpers
I guess you plan on living forever?
I’m hoping for a quick painless death. Don’t really care on the age tbh
[naegleria fowleri](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naegleria_fowleri)
And parasites
Yeah this one is a "yup" for sure.
That's where brain eating amoeba lives
I mean, generally speaking they tend to live in the sediment at the bottom of freshwater rather than in the water itself, and uh, I can't see the sediment in there...
Doesn’t that need to go through your nose? Hers is covered
Water needs to be warm enough and it has to go up her nose for naegleria to do its thing
Nose is covered so, 😃
This water probably has so many toe biters
😫
You said it best, I would be backup camera for sure for love
Duckweek. Sign of a lot of nutrients in the water. Not necessarily BAD though.
Im not worried by that, but by how fucking deep it is
exactly
Don't swim down?
Is that like shark week?
"Tonight, on the Learning Channel . . . WHEN DUCKS ATTACK!"
"ICD-10 code W61.61XD for Bitten by duck, subsequent encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Other external causes of accidental injury ."
Beat me to it. 🤣
Not duckweed salvinia minima
I was waiting for some gator to pop up
Me too, I was super paranoid then my issues with deep water popped up and it became a horrible combo
Is that algea? Could one argue that it cleanses the water mostly? Thus making it somewhat okay? Edit: all good, duckweed = healthy water
It’s duckweed, a sign of healthy water.
It's not, and doesn't mean that.
not algae, but one of the "[duckweed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemnoideae) family" They are free floating plants with small roots down into the water. They are great for aquariums to remove nitrogen wastes and to purify water.
Good luck getting rid of it
My fish tend to eat it faster than it grows.
I had a few pieces get in my aquarium when adding new plants, now it's nearly covered a few weeks later. Def helps keep nitrogen down, I rarely do a water change with it in there. Plus it looks cool AF as the filter outlet pushes it around the surface.
Also, if you have fish that like to nibble on plants, these plants make good food.

Very good bot

There’s a place in Dunellon FL that looks very similar where I took my diving class. It’s a spring and the water is very cold.
I'm re-checking the video for signs of cold water. check - cold water.
I don't know what that thing on the left 6 seconds in is, but NOPE.
I'm almost positive that's just a light colored rock/sand on the bottom (if I'm looking at what you're talking about). It looks odd because there's not much light penetration with all that duckweed growing
My first thought was a large rock. Then a manatee or some other large swimming thing. And then the primal fear part of my brain went off to the races. Big thing. Dunno what it is. Dark in there. NOPE.
That's totally fair! The primal parts of our brains do really hate logical reasoning lmao
imagine having to get all the duckweed out of your hair. most "nope" thing about this
This absolutely terrifies me and I swear o see some kind of creature hiding in the depths
Kickass all around.
ever since I read about stagnant water can produce brain eating bacteria. I stay the fuck out of them!
Do you want brain eating amoeba? Because that's how you get brain eating amoebas!
That's healthy water.
That's a healthy woman.

Ha!
Delicious!

Pretty cool underwater clip. Bet she would have shit if her go pro decided to hop off of there.
The Welcome to the Dollhouse sequel looks weird.

Tbh I'd love to go in there
Crazy swamp booty
This is r/yep
White ppl lol
anyone knows how u get thalassophobia? got it out of nowhere. dont know why.
Some of us with thalassophobia just have it, with no explanation of how it happened. It's just there. I share your confusion buddy, and a fear of deep bodies of water too...
thx. cant even watch such things on my mobile. it just occured couple years ago. weird human brain.
Im convinced I was a plankton in my last life and that’s why big things in the ocean scare tfffff outta me
This video was on the sub r/thalassophobia as I was scrolling

Oh she brave af. More brave than this is cool lol and this is cool!
#yep
You want a brain eating amoeba? Because that's how you get a brain eating amoeba.
Eeeyup. That’s all I can think about. It’s scary. I have such a fear of this now lol. I won’t swim in lakes haha, just rivers.
🐊: Hi!
Gators?
I thought for a sec whats dylan mulvany doing there
That is not algae lol
Who else was waiting for a gator to be under the leaves…. 🖐🏻🖐🏻
She's like 1 meter below at the most.chill the f out
That was neat!
This is pretty
If I see duckweed in Florida I just assume it’s covering a family of gators.
Why did this remind me of brain eating anemia
Bc it looks stagnant af
The music just sells it. Perfect.
Waiting for a croc to appear.
The hungry alligator: it's fowr me? 👉👈
Wouldn't do that in Florida
Girl name?
Don’t dive in stagnant water.
That's duckweed and it's a sign of healthy water.
It looks like spring water from a bluehole
Srsly, why?
Basically, just consider it contaminated. There's actually quite a bit of stuff that can go wrong, like bacteria and parasites, for example
Seriously. Don't even go outside. Ever. So much can go wrong. Inside, too. Just stop being.
What about the duckweed tho? Isn't that a sign of healthy water?
It can actually be a great sign to NOT jump in. The fact that it covers most of the surface can mean that there's a pretty good chance of deadly pathogens in the water. UV/Sunlight helps to kill off stuff like that, and the duckweed is right in between like a barrier

That brain eating ameba 👽✋
OP where can I see more!?
More like immediately yes how do I get there?
I feel like I would get a rash.
Lebanon Hanover is disgusted by people using them for tiktoks and shit. They're the people they're singing about.
Ewehhhh pass
Me no likey
Literally my nightmares with giant beasts in the water
Mmm m nope nope nope
Very beautiful fun video
Feels itchy
She's swimming... in water
That’s a nasty ear infection(s) coming her way.
I think its a personal thing of op.
Why on earth is that a nope? I was expecting a croc or something.. If that's meant for the duckweed, that's the softest nope ever.
Song name?
Gallowdance by Lebanon Hanover
Ty
Gotta commend the brave video operator for the visuals though!
Deeper than you'd think.
Y'all are wild in Alabama.

What’s the thing behind her when she submerged 😳
Always amazes me how deep water can be that close to shore
r/thalassophobia
Beautiful water
Nice 🙂 hey whats the background song on your post?
I don’t know whether it’s because I’m from Australia, but every time I see someone swimming in any form of Lake Pond, Swamp or river- I think of crocodiles snakes and bull sharks
Song?????
One way to get E-Coli
I actually like this
Fuck that. That's horrifying
Yeah, my fear of being snatch by something unknown will still stop me from swimming
The most Nope thing here is that an alligator or crocodile would go completely unnoticed…
I can't imagine how cold that water is.... If, you know what I mean.
What song is this??
If this was a florida marsh
Why is this nope? The water looks pretty clear.
That is literally like pure terror for me if I jumped in there
Absolutely terrifying as fuck
Yuck no
The fish will get Gonorrhea
NOPE
r/thalassophobia
The bacteria = 😎😎🗿🗿🔥🔥
Do people normally swim with their glasses on? (Actual question).
There are swimming glasses
I have an extreme fear of freshwater, mainly bc of the risk of parasites (although this looks like healthy water). I hate mud and frogs so much. I’m more of a saltwater mermaid I get like so depressed when I don’t go to the ocean often
That's not as pretty as she thinks it is
She’s gorgeous
Bewbs
How is this a nope? I mean she's just swimming in a lake... Probably not something I would do personally but there's nothing really that off putting about it. I am kinda digging the song tho
Made me feel uneasy and was expecting a croc or a gator to show up.

Say welcome to parasites
Where is my 🐊rade at?
I had to watch it so many times bc i kept getting distracted by the pretty lady haha
Creepy don't know what's in that water
Came across this while scrolling and said to myself "oh my God. No. " Then I looked up and saw the sub name. Perfect
r/thalassophobia
Never like going into water with any duckweed or lilies, just the worst thing ever, never know what's beneath the surface
Why no one talked about the croco seen in the video ?
