How can people protect themselves from brain eating amoeba?

The best way to protect is awareness. Most people don’t even know about this amoeba. Simple habits like not diving into warm ponds and using clean water for nasal wash can save lives.

• Avoid swimming in warm freshwater during hot months. - Keep your head above water if you swim in lakes or rivers. - Use nose clips to stop water from going up your nose. - For nasal rinsing, always use boiled, distilled, or sterile water.
