Brain-eating bacteria in neti pot water may have killed 2 people

 This article was fairly interesting. On December 17th 2011, Louisiana state health officials warned the public that the improper use of tap water in neti pots may have lead to the death of two people. These people died from N. fowleri which is an amoeba that can enter the brain through the nose and attack the brain.http://www.examiner.com/us-headlines-in-national/brain-eating-bacteria-neti-pot-water-may-have-killed-2-people
