(This is the first in an ongoing series of pieces to promote fear-mongering) Nope, not even in the family pool or the lake at the cabin. Apparently, six people have died this year from a microscopic organism that EATS THE BRAIN! Yes, that's right, a parasite that enters the cranium through the nasal or ear passages, devours brain cells, causing headaches, delirium, and hallucinations followed shortly by death. Scientists are calling this mischevious 'lil stinker Naegleria fowleri, and it typically inhabits warm, stagnant waters. Apparently in an effort to make my task (i.e. the promotion of constant, vigilant fear) easier, biologist Michael Beach reminds us that with the onset of global-climate-warming-change we'll only see more of this little guy.

Not the Brain!
Did you find one of these stinkers on your pillow? Where did you hear about this?
Apparently this little stinker goes after rambunctious young boys but not so much the young ladies. It knows where the real brain power resides.
These little microorganisms love the warm musty water of ponds. I don't understand why young lads are swimming in ponds anyways, seems nasty. It seems obvious our southern neighbors really need to start investing in swimming pools to curb this science-fiction like violence. This is definitely some terrifying shit.
they've been infecting kids in swimming pools too. like i say, you aren't safe anywhere.
