Maybe six or seven years ago in Seattle I had a sinus infection. I had used tap water with a netti pot off and on for years.

I mentioned to my doc that someone in Mississippi had died from brain amoeba due to using netti pot. She said, “Well, that was in the South. Here we have good tap water.”

A year later a Seattle woman died of brain amoeba due to using tap water. I use Arm and Hammer saline spray to clear my nose,

Yeah...I know that might be in our future. Just haven’t researched it yet. One of these days maybe.

Just boiling a pot of water on the stove can relieve the dry sinuses.

Winter air is dry anyways, so raising the humidity will help hold in the heat, since water vapor is a greenhouse gas!...............

There are no known treatments for his disease.

Anyone who experiences the following symptoms after swimming in warm lakes or rivers or after a nasal water exposure such as a sinus rinse should seek medical care immediately.

Ok. now I’m confused!

I have well water. Pure as the driven snow! Tastes GREAT too.

60 ft. deep and overflows the top from time to time.

Thank you LORD! NOT common with most wells.

Probably a Muhammadan. Part of their pre-prayers ablutions ritual is rinsing each nostril with water three times.

I guess Muhammad never heard of Naegleria fowleri.


Ritual Nasal Rinsing & Ablution Print

Use safe water to protect yourself from a deadly brain infection.

Many people perform ritual nasal rinsing. This practice is included in Yogic, Ayurvedic, and Islamic traditions. Within the Islamic faith, ritual nasal rinsing is included in a cleansing process called "wudu" or "ablution." It is usually performed several times a day in preparation for prayer.

Notice the Jewish religion, wisely, has no such ritual.

"Infected individuals will die within five days of the symptoms first appearing.
...
There are no known treatments for his disease.
...
This amoeba, which kills 97% of the people it infects...
...should seek medical care..."

Maybe skip it and save your deductable. It can't be good to be the "lucky" 3% that survive with a rotten brain and spinal cord.

Need more Ozone!

Ozone water treatment is used in commercial, industrial, and municipal water treatment systems, as well as in home systems. Major beverage companies rely on ozone water treatment technology and it is often used to disinfect bottled water. Ozone is also employed by cities to treat and disinfect municipal water supplies.

We use ozone generation in hot tub. 2000 times stronger than chlorine but short life span. Water is way better.
