Jin10 reported on October 19 that Indian media reported on the 18th that the number of “brain-eating amoeba” infection cases has surged recently in Kerala, southern India, with a total of 129 confirmed cases this year, resulting in 26 deaths. “Brain-eating amoeba” is a common name for the parasite Naegleria fowleri, which can cause a rare disease known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. This amoeba typically lives in warm freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, rivers, and hot springs, and can enter the human body through the nasal cavity and other pathways, primarily attacking the central nervous system, leading to brain damage and severe inflammatory responses. Reports indicate that early symptoms of infection include headaches, fever, nausea, vomiting, and stiff neck. The disease progresses quickly, has a high fatality rate, and the survival rate is only about 3%.
