A rare but deadly brain infection caused by a brain-eating amoeba, Naegleria fowleri, is creating a health scare in Kerala, where 18 deaths and 67 infections have been reported. The infection, Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), is contracted when contaminated water enters the body through the nose, typically during activities in warm, untreated freshwater like ponds, lakes, and poorly maintained swimming pools. The amoeba travels to the brain and destroys tissue, leading to symptoms like severe headaches, fever, and seizures. One expert noted the high number of cases in Kerala is an "eye opener." Without rapid treatment, the infection is almost always fatal. Experts discuss potential contributing factors like tourism, global warming, and industrial pollution, while emphasizing prevention methods, such as avoiding risky waters or using nose clips, as the best defence against this fast-progressing illness. #braineatingamoeba #naegleriafowleri #pam #itwebvideos #kerala #healthalert #publichealth #watersafety #swimmingsafety #infection #amoeba #braininfection #staysafe #healthwarning #india #disease
