“ The amoeba typically enters a swimmer’s nose and invades the brain causing an almost always fatal infection, according to Jonathan Yoder, an epidemiologist at the CDC in Atlanta.”
Holy smokes, did you know there are amoebas in the ocean that will eat your brain? This Yahoo report about the death of a 16-year-old girl in Florida confirms it. And I kind of wish news like this was censored from publication, because what do you do with it except sit there wondering if the next time you go for a swim, a microbe will burrow into your skull and kill you and there’s NOTHING you can do about it? This knowledge is a CURSE, I tell you!
