That sounds like a SyFy movie, but isn't. Rangers are warning folks not to swim in warm/hot springs.

I can't see the video, but is this the same one they found a couple weeks ago in NC?

The article from that one said this thing is pretty much everywhere, but it's relatively tough to catch. They said you basically need to jump into the water feet first hard enough that the water goes up your nose and makes it to your brain.

Sounds pretty scary, but the main thing they said was try to be careful around warm water and always plug your nose when jumping in.
