🇺🇸 TEXAS WOMAN DIES FROM BRAIN-EATING AMOEBA AFTER USING TAP WATER FOR SINUS RINSE
A 71-year-old Texas woman died eight days after developing severe neurological symptoms linked to a brain-eating amoeba, the CDC confirmed.
She had rinsed her sinuses using tap water from her RV at a Texas campsite, unaware of the risk.
The water likely contained Naegleria fowleri, the deadly amoeba behind primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).
Health experts stress the need to use only distilled, sterilized or boiled and cooled water for sinus rinses, warning that tap water can harbor this rare but lethal organism.
