В минувшую пятницу, 3 июля, департамент здравоохранения Флориды объявил о подтвержденном случае Naegleria fowleri — микроскопической одноклеточной амебы, которая может заразить и уничтожить мозг. Это обычно смертельно, сказали в департаменте.

Since 1962, only 37 cases of amoeba infection have been reported in Florida. The freshest was recorded in Hillsborough County, although no details were provided by the Department of Health.

Naegleria fowleri is commonly found in warm, fresh water such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. The health department warned people who swim in these fresh water sources about the possible presence of an amoeba, especially when the water is warm.

«Неблагоприятное воздействие на здоровье человека может быть предупреждено путем предотвращения контакта носа с водой, поскольку амеба проникает через носовые ходы», — говорится в заявлении департамента.

Officials recommend that people avoid sources of warm fresh water in the vicinity of power plants and shallow fresh water during periods when it is warm. Before bathing or playing in warm fresh water, you should put a clip on your nose.

The health department also noted that the amoeba can get into the nasal passages when washing the stasis in the sinuses using a special teapot.

«Используйте только кипяченую и охлажденную, дистиллированную или стерильную воду для приготовления растворов для ополаскивания с помощью чайничков или проведения ритуальных омовений синусовых пазух», — говорится в сообщении.

According to the Florida Department of Health, there were a total of 143 cases of amoeba infection in the United States. Only four infected survived.
