The woman had been using a neti pot to irrigate her sinuses...[Doctors] now believe she was infected by a deadly amoeba that lives in warm soil and water and gradually kills brain cells...It's an extremely rare occurrence, but due to climate change, it's one that could begin posing a greater threat to more people across the United States.

Whoop! There it is!
I posted this because the reference to climate change was a neo-Marxist classic!
I even boil my distilled water. I don’t use mine much but it makes a huge difference in how I feel in Spring when pollen is thick.
Stopped reading right there.
“She Made Fatal Mistake With Neti Pot”
Not the first, and certainly won’t be the last. This is why I’ve always been against legalization.
You would not be able to subject me to this waterboarding treatment unless I was strapped down and sedated.
You heard it here: It’s not using dirty Neti pots; it’s global warming!!!!
Climate change...right.
More likely due to migration, than climate change, I suspect.
And toenail fungus!
End of article.
What’s wrong with ordinary saline nasal spray? Distilled water and salt. Boil before filling the spray bottle.
I mix in some Listerine when I think I might be getting a cold. THAT will wake you up!
If your woke religion REQUIRES that you use a neti pot, microwave it to boiling, then let it cool before using.
(Frankly, I think they’re gross!)
Amen!
Boil it, then let it cool.
climate change caused covid....jackpot for the media loons
Or boiled water. The amoeba can’t tolerate temperatures above 160 degrees F.
Culling the herd. Some live and some don’t. Now, go clean yer noses.
According to the Seattle Times, a 69-year-old woman was taken to Seattle’s Swedish Medical Center while experiencing seizures. Physicians initially thought she had a brain tumor.
They removed a section of brain tissue during an operation, and when they examined it, they made a terrifying discovery.
“When I operated on this lady, a section of her brain about the size of a golf ball was bloody mush,” neurosurgeon Dr. Charles Cobbs said in a phone interview. “There were these amoeba all over the place just eating brain cells.”
“We didn’t have any clue what was going on, but when we got the actual tissue we could see it was the amoeba.” It turned out that the amoeba had been literally devouring the patient’s brain for approximately a year.
There was one big question after her death: How did the amoeba get there? After all, brain-eating amoeba don’t normally turn up in the Pacific Northwest. In fact, her death was only the second of its kind on record. The answer turned out to be through a Neti pot. Instead of boiled or distilled water (which is what the Neti pot instructions specify), the woman used regular tap water....“The roof of the nose is one of the only parts of the human body where there’s a direct extension of the brain and central nervous system into the outside world,” (Harvard Medical School otolaryngologist Dr. Ben Bleier explained to Time).
In the Climate Change algorithm, anything negative [only] that can be linked to Climate Change, will be.
We have a well. Our water is run though a filter and a UV light. However, I still use boiled water for my netipot.
