[coffee]

Found in us rivers ..don't swim 

 

According to the CDC, the amoeba travels up the nose to the brain, where it destroys the brain tissue.

 

A person cannot be infected by drinking contaminated water, and the infection does not spread from person to person, the health department said.

 

What are the symptoms of brain-eating amoeba?

Symptoms usually occur from 1-12 days following infection, including headache, fever, nausea or vomiting. They may progress to stiff neck, confusion and seizures. Death occurs in 97% of cases within about five days of symptoms
