Tap water, containing brain-eating amoebas, caused Florida man’s death – The Jerusalem Post

A man in Florida died as a result of contracting a brain-eating infection known as Naegleria Fowleri, that he caught while doing nasal irrigation earlier this week. The man used unboiled tap water to clear his sinuses, according to the CDC.“The adult patient reportedly performed nasal rinsing daily with unboiled tap water, which is thought to be the source of the infection,” the CDC said in a statement.
