That's actually how most people become infected with shite like this, and why it says on the Neti pot box to boil the water first

brain eating ANYTHING in La is an endangered species by default.

Not enough chlorine residual being maintained in the water.

White peoples must have put them in the water lines. This the only explanation.

Naegleria fowleri is the amoeba.
Scruffy has not heard about any cases involving ingestion. It is already very rare though.

My wife was diagnosed with acanthamoeba keratitis yesterday. We had to order the medicine from New Zealand since the US doesn't make it. It is an amoeba in her cornea. This shite is scary.
