Brain-Eating Amoeba Warning!

A Texas woman died after using tap water in her nasal rinse—turns out, it was contaminated with a brain-eating amoeba. She got sick just days after using the device and sadly didn’t make it. The CDC says this is super rare, but if you’re using a neti pot or nasal rinse, always use distilled, sterile, or boiled water. Scary reminder: never use straight tap water for nasal rinses! #HealthAlert #BrainEatingAmoeba #NetiPotSafety #Health
