'Mystery' of Devil's Pool.
I was saddened to hear of the death that occured in Livingstone of a Tourist who succumbed to death less than 2 hours after wadding in the Water at the said pool. It was reported that she firstly convulsed and no one could save her until less than 4 Hours she was pronounced dead by a Hospital in the above mentioned city.MHSRIP.
WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THAT DEATH.
Naegleria Fowleri is an Amoeba also known as 'Brain Eating Amoeba' it is found in fresh moving waters, in the lakes, river or ocean.
It enters the human body through the nose👃 it rushes to the Brain through the Blood stream. Within an Hour or Two, it causes what we call Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM).
This individual may soon after a swim in such waters start to exhibit Severe Headache, Nausea, Vomiting and later Convulsions.
It is very difficult to save such an individual because the disease course is short and the drugs to cross the Brain Barriers to go and stop its activity is not mostly readily available.
The rest about Devil's Pool and the deaths experienced there we are allowed to speculate.
