Cnns Kim Hutcherson looks at how people can get it. 16yearold Sebastian Deleon only the fourth person in us known to survive an infection caused by a rare, brain eating amoeba. I have treated amoeba cases in the past and theyre all severely marginal, fatal. Called Naegleria Fowleri the amoeba lives in warm, Freshwater Lakes and rivers. And kills 97percent of its victims. It can cause severe headache, fever, nausea, vomiting and in most cases death. But exposure rarely equals infection. A lot of people get exposed to antibodies to this because they have been exposed to it a lot. Doctors say the key to infection is water going into the nose with enough force to get the amoeba to the brain. Anything that you would have that would force water up your nose puts you at risk. Thats anything from hot springs to diving in water or any type of water sport, or even using one of those sinus rinse bottles if the water has not been sterilized.
