[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These cases are rare enough that they make national news. And anecdotally, I’ve never read of acase that was two weeks after exposure - it was always pretty quick. If there were a danger I’d bacteria in the lake, there would be signs posted - especially at a resort! We are in Oregon and saw signs posted by a pond just yesterday. This resort doesn’t want people falling ill, and I imagine they test the water.[/quote] It's a brain eating amoeba that the OP is afraid of, not bacteria. It's a single cell organism that usually eats other small organisms like bacteria but when it goes up the nose, it eats it's way up the nerves leading to the brain and once it reaches the brain multiplies and they eat your brain. That's what the OP is afraid of except it's exceptionally rare.[/quote] Is it just one! One amoeba that kills you?[/quote]
