Naegleria infection
Naegleria (nay-GLEER-e-uh) infection is a rare and usually fatal condition caused by an amoeba commonly found in freshwater lakes, rivers and hot springs. Exposure occurs during swimming or other water sports.
The amoeba — called Naegleria fowleri — travels up the nose to the brain, where it causes severe damage. Most people who have naegleria infection die within a week.
Ahhhh....
Don't go swimming in lakes any time soon!
Your brain will be eaten.
Seriously...
JUST SAY NO!
