I may never go camping near the Missouri River again after some stories have been shared about huge arachnids that apparently also call that area home. Several Missouri fishermen swear it's not an exaggeration or far-fetched tale, but what they really saw with their own eyes.
This concept might be funny to you, but keep in mind no one has yet proved the legend to be wrong. There are many who theorize that the historic mounds near Cahokia, Illinois contain the remains of giants and there is some history to back their beliefs.

There is an urgent alert about a rise of antibiotic-resistant infections in Missouri that can affect a victim's blood, urinary tract and lungs. The concern is that while cases are on the rise, there are few treatments that have proven effective.
