  • A tiny, underwater sea creature has been nibbling the feet of swimmers in Mission Bay.
    San Diegan Tara Sauvage said she was walking along De Anza Cove when she decided to put her feet in the water to cool off. She didn't expect what came next.
    "It was painful! I was like uh! I jumped out of the water and this was so shocking. I had blood all over my foot and in between my toes," said Sauvage.
    She said in a matter of seconds something bit her ankles and feet.

    I know them. They are the angry sea monkeys I flushed down the toilet when our family had to move to another city. I understand their need for revenge. I am so sorry.

    I once saw a video where a scientist put a dead chicken in a cage and left it in a shallow area overnight. By morning there wasn't very much left because of this type of critter.
    Really interesting. I wish I could remember where I watched it. Probably somewhere here on UA-cam.

    Mission bay is man made so it doesn't have the benefit of the natural cleansing action other bays have. Some say it is a very polluted body of water although we never had any health problems or critters biting us there.

      It might be man made but it used to be a swamp/marsh like all the little lagoons on the I-5 corridor.

    When I had a boat at Dana Marine, I occasionally put on diving equipment to go under the boat and clean the bottom. Anywhere my skin was exposed i got bites. That was 30 years ago.

    Very little water circulation n that part of the bay. Perhaps the level of dead stuff required adding something to consume it? I wouldn’t swim in that part of the bay!

    I took a marine biology class at Grossmont College and I've never looked at the ocean in the same way. When you get out of the ocean and feel all crusty it isn't just because of the salt. Ocean water is filled with small organisms and microorganisms that are alive as well as dead and also includes eggs, feces and so on. I still go into the ocean but I try not to think about it.
