It enters through the nose,not the mouth. Nose clips recommended while swimming.

Joe never had a brain to begin with.
LOL
——Here in Phoenix, we get our water from a kiosk as the tap water has issues.——
That’s because you chose to LIVE IN A DESERT!!!!!!
Boiled tap water is fine. Even 140 degrees kills naegleria fowleri very dead.
I think about this every time I hear ads for nasal irrigation products.
Could this be the problem with Joe Biden? He looks like that his brain is being eaten.
There is a thin area of skull bone separating the nasal cavity from the brain. Water under force can basically push this amoeba through this area.
Showers are fine.
Always hold you nose when jumping to a lake or river.
“Always hold you nose when jumping to a lake or river.”
Guess I was lucky. Many years of lake and river horseplay, fast slalom ski wipeouts, tubing “Whip ‘em” wipeouts...
Now THAT would be a legit reason for fear and panic. Not some glorified chest cold with a survival rate between 96.4% and 99.7%, going by age group.
lol
IIRC it was a different kind of brain eating amoeba but deadly just the same.
Me too!
I loved skiing. The elderly gentleman who taught me swore he learned to ski using boards tied to his feet!
The instructions for the Neilmed sinus rinse state to only use distilled or purified water, never plain tap water.
I remember the ski belts! Fall feet-first and it went under you armpits and so tight someone had to help release the D-ringed strap.
And $5 got you six gallons of gas, a quart of 30 weight, two Cokes and a bag of chips. With change.
Of course, minimum wage was like $1.45.
A babysitting service for single mothers and dual income households.
An indoctrination institution applying newspeak and teaching every pop culture socialist fad as scientific fact.
A money maker for some (publishing companies for example who also pushed the standardized testing).
A platform for politicians to grand stand.
Kids graduating from an American high school may not be able to read well, write a paragraph, do simple algebra or geometry. They won’t be able to write cursive, tell you about some of the greatest writers in the English language (Mark Twain), prominent artists in the Renaissance (Michelangelo). They won’t be able to tell you much about one of the greatest play writers in English (Shakespeare). Their spectacular abilities in civics won’t make them able to tell you the first ten amendments to the US Constitution and what they mean, even in general terms.
BUT!!! The Average American kid coming from one of these highly rated institutions of learning will be able to tell you about global warming, what it means to be “triggered” and how homosexuals are picked on.
