A 12-year-old tragically died after swimming in Lake Murray, SC, from a super rare brain-eating amoeba called Naegleria fowleri. It lives in warm freshwater and can be deadly if it gets up your nose. The infection moves fast—most people don’t survive. Symptoms hit hard: headache, fever, vomiting, and even hallucinations. Fewer than 10 cases pop up in the US each year, but it’s almost always fatal. If you’re swimming in lakes or hot springs, pinch your nose or wear a nose clip! #Health #BodyHealth #BrainEatingAmoeba
