The Brain Eating Amoeba
A war has been going on for billions of years that breeds well armed monsters who struggle with other monsters for survival. Having no particular interest in us, most of them are relatively harmless, as our immune systems deal with their weapons handily. But there are exceptions.
Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba that not only has developed a deadly taste for human brains but is also a match for our defenses and a guest in dramatic headlines. What happens when this monster enters your body?

Huge shoutout to the cells in your body that literally use every strategy in the playbook to keep you alive. It's almost an entire sentience in its own right

oh hey, its my fear explained! This amoeba absolutely horrifies me. Even if our antibodies can wreck it. I just dont want holes in my chemoelectrical anxiety machine

Ah sweet, natural horrors beyond my comprehension

If you ever feel like giving up, remember your immune system military that does absolutely everything with pure intention of saving your life... with unwavering perseverance

I watched your video a few days ago, and today I read on the news that a 30+ year old woman died from this amoeba in Taiwan (where I currently live). She went to an indoor pool during July 21st to July 24th, and on the 26th she started having headaches, neck stiffening, and fever. She passed away on August 1st.. it sent chills down my spine. I shared your video to my family and friends, but too bad it doesn't have Traditional Chinese subtitles. I sure hope one day someone could help translate your videos so more people can benefit from these useful information. Thank you very much for making this video, you did an excellent job! Thank you.

As someone with huge-ass nostrils who always gets water all over the insides of my cavity whenever I swim, thanks for this. Guess I'll never swim again.

"This parasite lives in water and will eat your brain!"
"Whelp, I guess I'm never swimming ever again."
"Don't worry! You're more likely to drown than be killed by the parasite!"
"The reasons to never swim again just keep piling up..."

If you donβt feel loved just remember your immune system will do everything it can to protect you

My friends father just died from this. A few days ago my friends father died shortly after swimming in lake LBJ in Texas. It was originally diagnosed as meningitis until the doctors got the full detail.

For anyone still worried, they specified that the amoeba can only exist in dirty waters. Just don't jump into some random lake or a pool that isn't cleaned out regularly and you're fine. You're not likely to splash around in a spa since you're supposed to be relaxing, not going nuts, and when they say 'high in your nose' they MEAN high in your nose. As in, you can feel it in the bottom of your eyes kind of high. And that's a serious problem all on its own since that probably means you've inhaled some water into your lungs and you've got a DIFFERENT situation going on.

I love how they acknowledge the existential, "thanks Kurzgesagt, now I'm terrifed of just being alive" into an animated being.

I love how they just like say your gonna die and then just say "nah it probably fine"
