This summer seems like an ideal time to visit a lake. However, there's an important consideration to keep in mind: a rare but serious brain infection caused by Naegleria fowleri. This amoeba can be found in soil and warm freshwater sources, including lakes, rivers, ponds, and hot springs around the world. According to the CDC, you can protect yourself by following these precautions:

✅ Hold your nose or wear a nose clip when jumping or diving into freshwater.
✅ Always keep your head above water in hot springs.
✅ Avoid digging in shallow water, as the ameba is more likely to be present there.
✅ Use distilled or boiled tap water when rinsing your sinuses or cleansing your nasal passages.
