This blog content is more to help create awareness and giving, what I believe, is a helpful suggestion to help keep people safe. This occurrence is showing up more often, and it is quite unnerving. The portal of entry for this amoeba, are the nostrils (the two channels of the nose).

I don’t believe it is so rare anymore. Maybe relatively rare. Just wanted to suggest that, when swimming, or even taking a bath, wear nose plugs.
