Brain-infecting amoeba blamed for second neti pot death (Palm Beach Post)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZeEXzzrT-w
If you plan to give a loved one a neti pot for Christmas or Chanukah, make
sure you include a bottle of distilled water.
Health authorities are urging people who use neti pots to irrigate their
sinuses only with sterile water, not tap water, after a second Louisana neti
pot user in five months has died from a brain infection traced back to her
faucet.
The woman’s infection was caused by an organism that’s common in fresh water
in Southern states. It has caused at least one Palm Beach County death, in a
Lake Ida swimmer in 1999.
Naegleria fowleri / CDC
The amoeba, Naegleria fowleri, won’t hurt you if you drink it, but if it’s
inhaled into the sinuses, it’s been known to cause death.
According to the CDC, most infections occur in people who snort fresh water
while swimming in a lake or river.
> “Naegleria fowleri infections are very rare. In the 10 years from 2001 to
2010, 32 infections were reported in the U.S. Of those cases, 30 people were
infected by contaminated recreational water and two people were infected by
water from a geothermal (naturally hot) drinking water supply,” the U.S.
