Brain-Eating Amoeba Kills Arizona Teen

It sounds like something out of a horror movie:  A “blob” that attacks its victims through the nose and eats the brain.  Sadly, it’s not a movie; it’s real.  Per Fox News:

An Arizona teen became the sixth victim this year of Naegleria fowleri, a brain-eating amoeba that enters through the nasal cavity and quickly devours the brain; officials said he picked it up while swimming in Lake Havasu.

How very sad…My prayers go out to the family.
