Naegleria Fowleri
Was planning on a day trip Saturday. Number two son who works in the medical profession sounded the alarm bell on this brain eating amoeba. It has a 97 percent fatality rate. Due to the small amount of brain cells that I have left I told him that it would be a quick snack once it got to me!
Anyone hear or know anything about? It says that it thrives in lake / river water at approximately 115 degrees. At roughly 70 degrees current lake temperature, can anyone board of health weigh in on this? I always duck completely when in the lake. Keeping ones head above the water seemed uniquely odd to me. |
