Brain-Eating Amoeba Found in Louisiana Lake | Baton Rouge News
Description
Louisiana’s health department confirms another terrifying case of the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri, likely contracted at Lake Claiborne—this rare but deadly microbe sneaks in through the nose and attacks the brain, not spread by water ingestion or person-to-person contact. With just 180 cases since 1937, experts urge caution around warm freshwater: keep your head above water or wear a nose clip to stay safe.
