Um, amoeba aren’t bacteria. Just saying...

. "It is important to remember that the water is safe to drink;

Just don't let it go down the wrong 'pipe' or you'll be blowing it out through your nose.

Didn’t 0bama visit down there at one time?

[JRandomFreeper]

Did it escape from the State capitol or something? That sounds like a politician disease.

Brain-eating amoeba found in water system, but the water is safe to drink. Ok, got it.

Can’t they just throw some chlorine in the water?

avoid allowing water to go up your nose while bathing or swimming in a pool

But if it does, an amoeba will eat your brain.

I think I'd skip the swimming, and I'd join a gym to do the bathing. What a nightmare.

Normally, this amoeba is harmless. It only becomes lethal when combined with Dihydrogen Monoxide. Unfortunately, this industrial pollutant is found throughout most urban plumbing systems, creating a deadly situation for our children. The EPA should be issued emergency powers immediately.

[N. Theknow]

Send it to Washington, DC. It will starve to death.

Again? I first heard of this from a resident of Louisiana back in the 80’s.

ZOMBIES!!!!!!

[Stepan12]

It is too late. The amoeba already affected a great many people as the 2012 election clearly shows.

[Carriage Hill]

A few hundred tons of chlorinated pool shock dropped by air, will fix that reservoir right up.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Maybe they should hire some illegal immigrants to pick the amoebas out of the water .... you know, doing the jobs Americans won’t!

[Hugin]

“It is important to remember that the water is safe to drink; the amoeba cannot infect an individual through the stomach.”

Um, no thanks.

[Celtic Conservative]

A sample of the brain eating amoeba was sent to the White House, where it died of starvation.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...
