The Brain Eating Amoeba
A war has been going on for billions of years that breeds well armed monsters who struggle with other monsters for survival. Having no particular interest in us, most of them are relatively harmless, as our immune systems deal with their weapons handily. But there are exceptions.
Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba that not only has developed a deadly taste for human brains but is also a match for our defenses and a guest in dramatic headlines. What happens when this monster enters your body?

    The people who have succumbed to this amoeba had compromised immune systems as a result of the processed foods that they eat and the medications that they take. Healthy people all over the world are constantly exposed to this microorganism and nothing ever happens to them. It is only a handful of people who have weakened immune systems who should worry.

    Your body is like a colonial organism. You are made up of trillions of individual cells just going about their life cycles. Eating, expelling waste, reacting to stimuli, replicating, and finally dying. In fact, in the time it has taken you to read this far millions or more of your own cells, tiny pices of you, have died and their remains are being delt with. They don't have sentience though so don't feel bad. Your cells are just organic, microscopic machines that just keep running as long as they have fuel to run on. So we are a massive collection of cells that are all doing their own thing and under that is the immune system which is like a kind of cellular secret police force, Big Brother of your biology. Patrolling and making certain that all your cells are obeying the rules and working together with their neighbors to advance the glorious union called The Body. Do not hoarde resources comrade, everything must be shared equally in the communist society of cells. What is that over there? A cell has decided that it will not work for the body and instead will look after it's own interests and the interests of its cellular "children". Biological capitalism that we call "cancer" which, if not delt with will mean the collapse and destruction of the entire colony. And while all of this is going on inside you and me and everyone else, we sit and wonder if we should take the final slice of pizza.

She went to an indoor pool during July 21st to July 24th, and on the 26th she started having headaches, neck stiffening, and fever. She passed away on August 1st.. it sent chills down my spine. I shared your video to my family and friends, but too bad it doesn't have Traditional Chinese subtitles. I sure hope one day someone could help translate your videos so more people can benefit from these useful information. Thank you very much for making this video, you did an excellent job! Thank you.

If anything, one of the main reasons this disease is so deadly is the immune system's reaction itself, the video does mention the inflammation in the brain. That's us triggering it, not the amoeba. The real problem is that our immune response is very strong and destructive and can harm us as well. Now, harm in non vital areas of the body is fine, the cells will regenerate and we'll live on as if nothing ever happened. Harm in our most important areas, like the brain, heart, yeah, that's another story, and it can kill us probably even more easily than the disease itself.

    For anyone still worried, they specified that the amoeba can only exist in *dirty* waters. Just don't jump into some random lake or a pool that isn't cleaned out regularly and you're fine. You're not likely to splash around in a spa since you're supposed to be relaxing, not going nuts, and when they say 'high in your nose' they MEAN high in your nose. As in, you can feel it in the bottom of your eyes kind of high. And that's a serious problem all on its own since that probably means you've inhaled some water into your lungs and you've got a DIFFERENT situation going on.

    I am so sorry for your loss, although PAM is rare it is such a horrible disease to witness a loved one go through. I'm a microbiology student in university and we talked about this particular amoeba. There has been some fear that with climate change and with increasingly extreme summers, bodies of freshwater could become warmer and better environments for Naegleria fowleri. Although this problem is thankfully rare, a healthy amount of caution is so important.

I was young at the time and Inside Out came at the same time this happened. I remember that because I couldn’t be there at the hospital anymore and a friend of the family took me to that instead. I have never cried so hard in my life, especially during the imaginary friend forgetting scene. Despite how rare it is, it’s still awful to experience.

Two days after being admitted, she was gone. Crazy

    As Kurg said, naegleriasis (a.k.a. primary amoebic encephalitis) is EXCEPTIONALLY rare, as A LOT of variables have to go perfectly right for you to contract the disease, but if you do have the misfortune of getting it, you are pretty much guaranteed death within a few days to two weeks even with aggressive, early treatment. Scary to think about. Season 2 of House featured a naegleriasis infection that killed a cop and should have killed Foreman, although it's mode of transmission (aerosolization via a misting spray for marijuana said cop was growing) is unheard of and frankly all but impossible. Frankly, Foreman not only surviving after showing symptoms, but having no neurological issues once cured, is nothing short of miraculous.

Thankfully in my country this particular amoeba it´s almost immposible to find but in some other countries like the US cases are known to be present. Thanks kurzgesagt for another awesome video, creating awereness, and fuelling nightmares :)

    So there's a reason I didn't ask too many questions when I was taken in at the neurological department of my local hospital a few years back. I myself had just come down with a form of Lyme's Disease that lives in the fluids surrounding your brain and attacks the nervous system (great fun, lots of headache and fatigue for about a month and then suddenly half your face is paralyzed), just because I got bit by a minuscule infected arthropod while celebrating my birthday picnicking in the park. I learned that in the next room over was a guy who went swimming one day and ended up in the intensive care ward for about a week on life support because he was paralyzed from head to toe and so couldn't breathe and hardly pump his own blood. At that point I decided I'd try to avoid learning about too many neurological diseases because there's a terrifying amount of them, there's basically nothing you can do to stop them, and holy crap the effects are always _extreme._

    Fortunately, we do have a cure for rabies, which is also a neurological disease. The way that it's treated is a lot different compared to other diseases. You see, rabies has a fairly large "incubation" period. You become infected with rabies when an infected mammal bites you and passes it to you through their saliva. At that point, the virus stays inside of the afflicted tissue - be it the arm, leg, ect. The virus can't do anything outside of your brain, so it has to multiply and reach your brain through your nervous tissue, which can take days, weeks... in rare occasions, years. If the virus is not in the brain, it is harmless. Once it reaches the brain, it is 100% fatal for the host. The way rabies is cured is through a rabies vaccine... after the host is infected! This is in contrast to other vaccines, in which they're given before any infection takes place. But with the vaccine, if the host takes the vaccine before rabies reaches the brain... it is 100% curable. So, basically rabies is either 100% fatal or 100% curable.

    From what I've noticed, neurological parasites are very vulnerable outside of the brain and can't do anything until they reach it, where the journey to the brain usually takes days. This means that we could very likely create cures for these diseases after somebody is exposed like with rabies, which would be extremely safe given the parasites literally cannot do anything to your body if they're not in your brain. It's important to note however that certain people who are within constant contact with animals (such as veterinarians) are given rabies vaccines prior to any infection to protect them. This means we could probably also give vaccines for common neurological diseases before any contact with the pathogen occurs, if we figure out how to make vaccines for them.

    Someone in my distant family died because of this Amoeba. He was only 24 years old. One day he went for swimming at the nearby pool. Started having headaches the next day and in 3 days he was unconscious on ventilators. He died in 7-8 days. Was the only son of his parents. It was very tragic
