The Brain Eating Amoeba
A war has been going on for billions of years that breeds well armed monsters who struggle with other monsters for survival. Having no particular interest in us, most of them are relatively harmless, as our immune systems deal with their weapons handily. But there are exceptions.
Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba that not only has developed a deadly taste for human brains but is also a match for our defenses and a guest in dramatic headlines. What happens when this monster enters your body?

Very high quality explanation.
Anybody here after getting brain eating amoeba from the Goob Lagoon?
this traumatized me for like 2 years
Could you make a episode about auto immune… my blood turned against me and made me have a blood clot in my lung
97% fatality rate ?! I'm not even bathing again
For the curious nerds (I am one): The Naeglaria Fowleri ONLY lives in what people call STILL WATER (STAGNANT WATER). Still water contains harmful bacteria such as the brain eating amoeba described in this video, which can cause fatal diseases and infections. Here are a few ways to identify stagnant water:
1. Look at the water; if there is a thin layer of microbial film above the water, it is a sign that the water is stagnant water
2. If the water is an odd shade (Brown, Black, Green, etc.)
3. If the water has any weird patterns (Patterns can vary from circles to river-like streaks)
4. If the water has not been cleaned in a long time
5. Throw something in! If the water acts more like oobleck (Meaning if the object does not cause many vibrations in the water) than it is most likely stagnant water. This method does not work as well as the others; I have listed the ways in order of Most Reliable –> Least Reliable. I am not saying this method is bad, I am stating that the above methods are better.
Is this in like other cold weather all year round country's lik3 Canada?
here i am just want to go swimming and got a few days later an headache lucky it went by quick but i really thought for a moment oh shit here we go
What's the phobia for fearing amoeba😭
You don't have to worry until you are the case.
No thank you, fwck you
