I believe you are referring to the college student who was injuried on a zip line in a small river west of Atlanta. Her injury did require stitches as I recall. The drainage of the stream, Tallapoosa River, is likely to contain a little of anything, the area would be considered the x-burbs of Atlanta. She survived through extraordinary effort, resolve and strong medical expertise, but a the loss of both hands and feet I think.
