There's something lurking in the water-something invisible, something deadly. Four lives forever changed, one ending in tragedy, all because of a hidden threat no one saw coming. As we piece together their stories, the evidence reveals a chilling truth that might make you reconsider ever dipping your head underwater again. What is this silent killer, and how can you protect yourself? The answers lie just below the surface. Let's get into it!

Quick correction, boiling water does not make it sterile. It only pasteurizes it technically, if the water is brought to 250 F for 30 minutes though under 15 PSI in a sealed container it will however become sterile. Also bottled water is usually close to sterile if not actually sterile so bottled water should be safe to use when washing your sinuses.

My wifes late uncle/cousin have a man made lake in their yard, They use it to pump water into their home, Obviously have filtration systems in place. The line had a leak and uncle asked me to dive down the 20-30 feet and replace the line, The water was so still and stagnant alge everywhere I never felt more gross walking out of that lake looking like the creature from the black lagoon, green and mossy.. I totally got sick from it too, like bad.. Worst thing about it I learned there are giant spiders that RUN ONTOP of the water straight chasing after you. And diving down saw many in their own little bubble pocket of air.. Oh he than decided to tell me to look out for the alligator snapping turtles, I thought he was kidding.. NO Never again.

I watched a lot of horror movies when i was a kid. Like way too much for someone who was like 12. The only movie that got under my skin (pun not intended) was Cabin Fever. Not because of the gore or anything, but because it's 100% POSSIBLE. ..ok maybe "The Ring" made me a bit frightened to sleep in the same room with a TV for like half a year, but the Cabin Fever thing stuck with me for years. I learned about necrotizing fasciitis and all the other flesh eating diseases and it just stuck with me.

A girl in the 1970s got it from a Disney water park and Disney couldn't pinpoint which area of the park the amoeba was residing in.

Just as a head up, this is mostly a southern issue. Most northern states where water is almost always below 80°f have extremely rare cases or zero cases of infection. Some of the info is hard to sort through though, because some cases are being counted for a northern state, even though it was contracted in a southern state. For example: in ohio, there was only one case of brain eating amoeba, but the woman had gotten it from north carolina. So without going through every case to confirm, the numbers cam be skewed

This is the problem with how medicine is taught in the U.S. Doctors and nurses are regularly taught “if you hear hooves running think horses 🐎 not zebras 🦓” 😱 This idea alone kills thousands of people every year because the medical provider ignores the patient, certain in their knowledge that they, the doctor or nurse, know better than the individual actually suffering the ailment and so by the time they actually listen to the patient it is too late and the patient dies 😱 When you are dealing with the life of a human being absolutely EVERYTHING should be considered and tested for regardless of rarity! They should start with “zebras” and work their way down to “horses” 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I learned as a little kid to swim blowing very small bubbles out of your nose when undwater. And of course increase your output if doing flips underwater to keep water from your lungs and nose. Learn to control how little air flow it takes and stop just plugging your nose.

Not necessarily. Still water is obviously going to be a greater risk for any kind of microbial infection but like with most amoeba it has more to do with water temperature, which is why these cases tend to happen more in tropical areas. I think we have had one or two cases in New York State where I live but it's incredibly rare here

Afaik the water has to get deep into sinuses for that to happen. And reason why amoeba is going up the nerves to brain is because it's attracted to one of proteins building neurons or used as trasmitter (I don't remember which) - and their presence make her to become more active. Immune cells try to stop amoeba, but are generally smaller and weaker, it can defend from most things they can do, it can bypass other defensive mechanism like increased mucus secretion for example (which only slows its movement down).

HI CZECH HERE Uh there are mountains but only on the borders, most lakes are in the low parts of the country and its very warm there. In general we are a landlock and its quite warm here all year around not to mention global warming has been hitting us like a truck some anecdotal evidence: my grandmother used to have a lot of snow in winter, even up to her KNEES. Fast forward now, we hardly get above ankles snow

I knew someone who had a sibling who lost an arm and all his fingers on the other hand from falling into stagnant water. not the brain, but still very scary. it wasn’t from an amoeba though. I don’t think so anyway I’m not sure what it was but it was some sort of flesh eating bacteria from the water he inhaled and swallowed.
