Rare Brain-eating Amoeba in 20 States: Protocols to Lower Risk

The chance of this happening to you is remote. Here’s how to make it even more remote.

I share this story of a 12-year old boy who died from exposure to a very rare but always fatal *brain eating amoeba* infection, because the parents wish to raise public awareness. The video below covers the recent tragic event in South Carolina.

Here are the states with detected cases of the amoeba:

California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, Minnesota, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Nebraska, Iowa, Maryland.

The video shares critical information on *naegleria fowleri*, including its symptoms and how to avoid the *infectious disease* that causes it, highlighting the importance of public health. Learn about this rare but serious danger.

Executive summary

Brain-eating amoebas sound like they are science fiction, but they are real.

They’ve killed around 160 people in the U.S. in the last 60 years, so the risks are absurdly low considering the millions of people who go swimming each year.

The type of amoeba involved, Naegleria fowleri, strikes fewer than 10 people annually in the U.S., said the website of the CDC.

Victims become infected when they somehow snort water containing the single-celled organism up their nose. If water containing that amoeba goes up a person’s nose all the way up to where it can cross into the brain, it can destroy brain tissue and cause an infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis.

Ways you can minimize this happening to you:

• Never swim in warm natural water (over 77 degrees) that hasn’t been tested. (That is very warm for most deeper lakes).

• NEVER get untreated water up your nose. Use nose clips, avoid forceful underwater activities, etc. By far the best solution. Swallowing the amoeba is safe, but getting it up your nose is a big no-no.

• Swimming pools are chlorinated so are generally safe from Naegleria fowleri. The organism simply cannot survive at recommended disinfectant levels.

• NEVER do a nasal rinse with common untested tap water. NEVER.

Options for nasal rinse:

1. Distilled water.

2. Water that has been boiled for 3 minutes then cooled before using NeilMed netipot saline nasal rinse.

3. Water that you’ve added chlorine dioxide (CDS) to get to 10ppm and let it sit for 30 minutes before using. This is not guaranteed. If your tap water contains a lot of impure organic matter, this may not work. (Steve Kirsch states in his article that “amoeba are killed in just 1 minute in water with just 1.5ppm of CDS”).

Chlorine Dioxide (CDS) and how to make it:

If you ever put yourself in a situation and you realize you screwed up, it’s possible that doing aggressive nasal rinses as well as nebulization using distilled water where you add CDS to achieve a final concentration of 10-20ppm might save your life. It certainly won’t hurt as this is well within the range of common usage. You’d want to do that ASAP after exposure. I recommend this nebulizer.

You can make 15ppm by activating 6 drops of sodium chlorite solution (Part A) with 6 drops of activator solution (Part B). Allow them to activate for 3 minutes (180 seconds). Then add to 16 ounces (480 ml) of distilled water. Close lid tightly and keep in refrigerator. (Source: see Mild Solution) Use small amount of that in your nebulizer cup.

Nanosilver Can Kill Amoeba:

There is also some scientific evidence that nanosilver can kill these amoeba >>> Read Silver nanoparticles help fight brain-eating amoebas.

Nebulizers allow nanosilver (or CDS) (or very dilute hydrogen peroxide) to enter into the bloodstream via a very fine mist that not only treats any infection within the lungs but also gets it into the body on a systemic level – including the brain. It’s a valuable substitute to administer treatments when an IV isn’t possible – or when time is of the essence. This post discusses how to nebulize nanosilver.

Experimental treatments are under study for actual early Naegleria exposures, e.g., intranasal miltefosine and amphotericin B protocols, but are not generally available.
