Ugh, I didn't know....

.... that there was such a thing :o

It sounds like science fiction but it's true: A killer amoeba living in lakes enters the body through the nose and attacks the brain where it feeds until you die.

Even though encounters with the microscopic bug are extraordinarily rare, it's killed six boys and young men this year. The spike in cases has health officials concerned, and they are predicting more cases in the future.

Making it's way up your nose? Damn... We all laugh at this, sometimes, when we see B grade movies or something similar... But you know what? it's a really insidious thought and when I get an insect or something in my room at night, it really keeps me up.


Argh!
