Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba that infects brain. It enters the brain through olfactory nerve which is located in the upper section of the nose. Once the amoeba reaches this section, the infection becomes inevitable. However, there are certain things you can do to avoid this infection.

Use boiled water

If you want to clean your nose, then you can always use boiled water. Boiling the water kills this amoeba.

Use cholrinated water

Alternatively, you can also use cholrinated water as well. If you are planning to swim in a pool, then make sure that the pool water is cholrinated.

Avoid swimming in rivers and lakes

This amoeba is mostly found in rivers and lakes. Make sure you avoid swimming in lakes and rivers as such kind of waters are not cholrinated.
