I would say nowadays information has become so accessible that we are now able to receive each and every news.

The only way I ever receive news is if someone shares on social media and even that is more than enough

Horrible... but keeping and maintaining clean, filtered drinking water will be a challenge in the coming decades.  I hope people in Houston can afford bottled water for a while.

well the amoeba can only get to your brain if it's inhaled through the nose, drinking it shouldn't cause any harm. it's interesting that they are saying to not drink, makes you think there's something else goin on

I still wouldn't risk it. What if u accidentally take a breath in while drinking or by slim chance an amoeba stays stuck in ur mouth in the wetness than u inhale etc

 

I dunno. I just wouldn't risk it if I was told there was a threat

BRAIN EATING? 

The amoeba doesn't literally eat your brain, but it does travel up to the brain where it can cause inflammation which is very often lethal.

Most people become infected with it by coming in contact with it in fresh water while swimming and accidentally snorting water. It was never believed that you were at risk merely by drinking water, though..

Also, PSA: Don't use untreated tap water in your neti pot/nasal irrigator. People have died from this amoeba when using  unboiled tap water in their nasal irrigators.
