'https://www.uswatersystems.com/ According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Naegleria fowleri can cause primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a brain infection that is almost always fatal. Humans are particularly at high risk for contracting PAM if the brain-eating amoebas enter through the nose — which can happen when people swim or dive in freshwater contaminated with Naegleria fowleri.  The health department in Louisiana, urged residents to avoid getting water in their noses, which is how the organism can infect the brain. The department also advised the public to run baths, shower taps and hoses for at least five minutes before use to flush the pipes.  uswatersystems.com askthewaterdoctor.com'
