The Brain Eating Amoeba, scientifically known as Naegleria fowleri, is a single-celled organism found in warm freshwater environments, such as lakes and hot springs. It can enter the human body through the nose, usually when people go swimming or diving in contaminated water. Once inside, it can travel to the brain, leading to a rare but severe infection called primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). Infection with the Brain Eating Amoeba is extremely rare but often fatal. Symptoms typically appear within 1 to 9 days after exposure and may include headache, fever, nausea, and stiff neck. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, but the overall survival rate is very low, making awareness and prevention important for those engaging in water activities.
