amoeba infectionsLive Science
•74% Informative
Brain-eating-amoeba infections are extremely rare, but when they do strike, they are almost always deadly.
Such infections are caused by free-living amoebas, such as Naegleria fowleri , which usually lives in soil and warm fresh water.
People who use neti pots to rinse their noses may accidentally contaminate the tap water they add to it.
In rural areas, people may get their water from wells that are untreated.
