A serene vacation on the water may be your last. Now I will tell you how to protect yourself and your loved ones.
When swimming in any warm fresh water body, there is a risk of becoming infected with a brain amoeba. You can pick up this insidious parasite even in a water park or a swimming pool, chlorine does not affect it.
Naegleria fowleri enters the body through the nose, along the olfactory nerve it reaches the brain and begins to devour brain tissue. In almost 100% of cases, this ends in the death of the infected person; only 3 cases of recovery from amoebic meningoencephalitis have been recorded in the world.
To avoid infection, do not swim in warm bodies of water where there is no current or filtration, and also use special nose clips while swimming.
