It is often called the "Brain-Eating Amoeba". The organism is thermophilic, meaning they become active in warmer water. kumanzor77 https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194936324 2017-10-07 19:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194936324 PAM has a 99% fatality rate and usually affects young, active, healthy people. kumanzor77 https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194943701 2017-10-07 21:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194943701 The symptoms include fever, headache, stiff neck, and finally coma and death. kumanzor77 https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194943739 2017-10-07 21:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194943739 Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis occurs when N.fowleri is aspirated or forced high into the nasal cavity. It then travels through the olfactory nerves through the nasal cavity to the base of the brain. The amoeba consumes the nerve cells as it migrates to the brain and continues to eat away at the brain. kumanzor77 https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194944399 2017-10-07 21:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194944399 kumanzor77 https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194944881 2017-10-07 21:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194944881 You cannot get infected from drinking water contaminated with Naegleria fowleri. You can only be infected when contaminated water goes up into your nose. Therefore, avoiding swimming in warm, fresh waters, and using nose clips will help prevent infection. kumanzor77 https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194944987 2017-10-07 21:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194944987 Ampotericin B and miltefosine are two drugs that are used to treat Naegleria fowleri infection. Yet, the fatality rate is still at 99% kumanzor77 https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194945241 2017-10-07 22:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kumanzor77/yp11krlw8u4k/wish/194945241
