[@МартинЙолов-ъ3ф]

Thank you verry much for the guide you make. It is easy to understand and it is well structured. A people with good hearts like you make the life of medical students much easier.

Very useful guide. Thank you !

Is the incubation period not up to 14 days? (rather than 7 days as stated at 11:55)

[@slaystep1751]

Nope! It's as low as 2-3 days and as long as 7-10 but not 14 days. Patients have reported symptoms as little as 3 days after. Depends on the load (amount) the patient comes into contact with. Cheers! web.stanford.edu/group/parasites/ParaSites2010/Katherine_Fero/FeroNaegleriafowleri.htm

[@auntdiane1578]

Very hard to hear. Please speak louder or turn up mic.

Can N. Fowleri infection be contracted if the contaminated water enters only the very ends of the nostril? As in well below the olfactory mucosa

[@nancysatkinson1568]

Yes! If the Nostrils are close by a Nose Clip the Amobea cannot enter into the Brain

[@shishi2004]

lol😂

[@juniorr2646]

What happens if I eat em

[@dylangaming698]

Idk about the other ones but N. fowleri can be swallowed and not cause infection problems start when it enters your nose

One type of zombie cell is enough. WHY ARE THERE 3 OF THEM!?

[@MandrakeFernflower]

Naegleria is more closely related to Euglena and trypanosomes than true ameboazoa

[@slaystep1751]

This channel is for perspective doctors & medical professionals, not for microbiologists. Every reputable source I used to study for Step 1 classifies Naegleria as stated in my video and that is what is necessary for Step 1. Thanks for the engagement, though!

[@MandrakeFernflower]

@@slaystep1751 no worries! I'm actually aiming for nonmedical mycology

[@slaystep1751]

Best of luck! Med students just need to understand as much as is needed to treat patients via the meds that are available & it's easier to study the microbes via categories if possible. Beyond that is up to someone's discretion, but the feedback is always appreciated :)

[@auntdiane1578]

Can you please make person speak louder in future?
