brain-devouring amoeba in tap water
Third death linked to deadly,
brain-devouring amoeba; victim caught infection
from tap water: report
A deadly brain-eating amoeba killed a man in his early 20s - the third death linked to the rare parasite this summer, health official said.
The Louisiana man, who was not identified, died in June after he caught the parasite while rinsing his sinuses with tap water using a neti pot, a small pot used to clean nasal passages, state health official found.
Reports of the man's death come just days after a 9-year-old Virginia boy and a 16-year-old Florida girl succumbed to the same disease.
Health investigators found the amoeba in home's water system but said the microscopic critter was confined to the house and not in city water sample, the Associated Press reported.

"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything." — Friedrich Nietzsche
"You ask where I live. I cannot tell you. I am a Voyageur, a Chicot, sir. I live everywhere. My grandfather was a voyageur; he died while on a voyage. My father was a voyageur; he died while on a voyage. I will also die while en route, and another Chicot will take my place. Such is our course of life."
