Warm stagnant water is the big culprit but it could happen to anyone anywhere with the right conditions. Not getting water in your sinuses will help tremendously.

As I remember the individual was at Windsor park. You should be OK any where ells.

Kidding asside. It is rare and as long as you breath out your nose under water and not in still stagnet water, you should be OK. :good
