Like Monkeypox wasn’t bad enough, now we have this?
I remember other deaths from this, over my 60 years. Nothing new. It's not "NOW" this.

This has always been around, but it affects people relatively rarely. My friend got it after taking an impromptu swim in a natural pond of sorts. Fell into a coma and almost didn't make it, the prognosis for this is really bad. Still to this day can't focus properly and I think she said she's been having difficulty with learning and higher cognitive abilities ever since.

This is actually not that uncommon. You hear stories about it from time to time when people go and swim in dirty shit in the summer.

Oh please. This is hysterical “ratings grab” news. Like shark attacks. Very CBS 6:30.

Was this always around though? It seems like it’s WAY bigger in the 21st century.

We had a pond on our farm that had green-brown water with fish in it and about two inches of black gooey mud on the bottom. My brothers and I and our friends went swimming in it all the time. I'm amazed none of us got something like this from it.

R6 It's getting worse because of climate change. The Brain-eating amoeba usually lurk in warmer Sunbelt water but this year someone got them from a lake in Iowa.

This is one of the reasons to always boil water before using it in your neti pot.

These brain-eating amoebas will go hungry in Nebraska.

I've heard of brain-eating amoebas in relation to hot springs.

No, but it happened to me. Those backwaters of Georgia are full of them.
