An Arkansas resident has died after being infected with an extremely rare brain-eating amoeba. The Department of Health on Thursday announced the death from the Naegleria fowleri infection, a rare infection which destroys brain tissue, causing brain swelling and in certain cases, death.
This is why I pretty much never jump into water - the force of it shoots the amoebas up your nose. Definitely avoid (forcefully) dunking your head in warm water.😬
It is exceedlying rare. You are more likely to die in a car accident or even a train accident, lol. If you are worried, just get a nose clip. The only attack surface they have is in the upper nose. You can (and probably have) been drinking water with N. Fowlri in it with no problem since you were little.
You’re literally exponentially more likely to die driving to the water than from brain-eating amoeba in the water.
