A 12-year-old died from a brain-eating amoeba infection after swimming, prompting calls for more public warnings.
A 12-year-old boy died after contracting a rare and deadly infection from a brain-eating amoeba while swimming in Lake Murray, South Carolina.
His parents are advocating for more public warnings about the amoeba, which enters the brain through the nose and is nearly always fatal.
South Carolina, like many other states, does not require reporting of such infections due to the lack of clear scientific standards for testing water sources.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports fewer than 10 cases per year nationwide.
