TheWoWDBYou don't have to worry about damage unless you hang out in the water. Just jump in, click the target fern/frond thing, and get out of the water. You will not take any damage until it starts stacking up.

Description
Maevest and I broke away from the others and fled, their screams left in our wake. Foul muck smothered our lanterns and we stumbled in the dark through knee-high waters. I heard a splash like she had tripped and fallen in, but I couldn't bring myself to look back. Only later did I find the tiny bite marks on my ankles. Be warned, there's something in the water. I took notice of fronds growing from the pools. Swarming insects feast on their sickly nectar. Destroy those plants and starve the beasts.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

I found that using my Angler's Fishing Raft toy allowed me to go on the water without taking damage from the bitey things. I could loot, skin, and cut the fronds down without losing my raft. Just kill the stinger bees and fungi first, then ride the raft on the waters.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stem the Flow
The roads were meant to be lit. But the path was overgrown, the lanterns dark. Swarming, frothing, and reeking with rot. It all happened so fast. By the time we realized the danger, the beasts were upon us. The largest of them was huge and black as night.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- What Grows in the Dark
We are told never to walk in the darkness. To carry light wherever we go. The thought of returning this way filled me with dread. But your courage shines with splendor, <name>. At your side, my way is lit. No more hiding.
