Re: SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK
Amoebas enter the body through the nose and travel to the brain, where they feed until the person dies.
The only way to get infected is to snort water. A person can drink water that has Naegleria fowleri and never be infected.
The amoeba lives in soil and is often present in warm bodies of water, particularly hot springs and lakes.
Pools, if not chlorinated properly, can become homes to the microbes Tucson Water joined Maricopa County cities in a study of well water in 2005 to determine the amoeba's presence in drinking water and develop treatment to eliminate any potential health risks.
