No. Drinking contaminated water does not cause infection. The stomach acid kills the amoeba. The only danger is if contaminated water goes up your nose.

People often think drinking water is risky, but that’s a myth. Many cases have shown patients drank the same water but only got infected when water entered the nasal passages.
