Texas woman dies from rare "brain-eating amoeba" infection after using unboiled tap water for nasal rinse.
A 71-year-old Texas woman died after contracting a rare and fatal brain infection, primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), caused by the "brain-eating amoeba" Naegleria fowleri.
She used unboiled tap water from an RV faucet for nasal irrigation, which led to the infection.
The CDC warns of the risks and emphasizes the importance of using distilled, sterile, or boiled and cooled tap water for nasal rinsing to prevent such infections.
