2 people died last year after cleaning their sinuses with tap water. Their tap water was tested positive for Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba found in freshwater lakes. Here's the link:

thats gross that someone used tap water which is pretty much what all people drink how could something like this to the water i thought they cleaned like ten times before we are even aloud to drink it
so trying to get better and healthy, they end up dead? wow, not good! Not good at all!! it seems like people are getting really sick over the strangest things!! thats really odd. be careful on what you touch and then put in your mouth or nose or anything!! Now-a-days you gotta wash your hands after your dailey ativities! be careful!!
o my goodness this is so very scary. Although the people only got it from pouring it through their sinuses, it is still very creepy to think that their are brain munching amoebas living in your water just waiting for you to pour them down your nose. Hopefully their is a way to kill off these carnivorous amoebas!
That's really scary i mean i just had a glass of water, i couldn't imagine that happening to me or even someone i knew.
It didn't say drinking it
That is very scary, considering i drink water everyday! I take showers in it, and while i am singing away at the blues scary to think one wrong note, one wrong drink, could link to dieing!

There are many "things" in our water, which are good, but there are some things that are bad. Hopefully they can find something to "cure" this problem, but if not, we'll just have to be careful. That's what I believe!
That's scary! I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else! This really worries me, imagine all the paranoid people not drinking tap because this happened
