translated from Spanish: Young died after contracting an “Amoeba comecerebro” at aquatic park in Texas

29-year-old man died after contracting an Amoeba”comecerebro” in a water park in Texas. The Naegleria fowleri enters the human body through nose in polluted waters, lodges in the brain and begins to feed on nerve tissue. The information was confirmed by the Centre for the Control and prevention (CDC) in the United States, where pointed out that it is the first infection of its kind reported in almost three years in that country. The Wac BSR Cable water park was momentarily closed so that technicians from the CDC take water samples and make analysis. The victim, Fabricio Stabile, was at home when he began to feel bad and hurt him much head. After taking some remedies, she lay down and slept all day. Same thing happened the next day. When her mother was to see him only he mumbled. Although he was transferred to emergencies, died in the hospital quickly. This Amoeba causes an infection, meningitis variant, is known in the world of medicine as PAM. It does not occur if you swallow water or comes in contact with it through the skin and is not contagious. Its symptoms are headaches, nausea, vomiting and confusion. To prevent the disease in case of fresh water parks or swimming in rivers and lakes, doctors recommend using any type of mask or clip to keep out water to the nasal cavities.
