Brain-eating Amoeba

Featured Replies

In my area of the states, 6 boys and young men have recently been killed by a 'brain-eating amoeba' which inhabits the bottom layers of freshwater lakes, and, when people rough-house in lakes and get shoved to the lakebed, the amoeba enters through their nose, and into their brain cavity. Over the course of a few days it kills the victim by devouring their brain. In the entire world, only a few hundred cases have occured since it was discovered in Australia in the 1960s.

 

 

 

 

 

Scary or what, eh? :shock: This is real, and there isn't much that beats it on the freaky factor... Discuss.

 

 

 

 

 

Alright, I've got a link to an article...:

Whats "nice" about it? <.<

I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.
So, what is 1.111... equal to?

10/9.

 

Please don't continue.

I guess this is bad. I'm not sure what you want us to say about it. It's not like we know anymore than what's on the internet. This warrants no serious conversation, it's just news. Like so many people have recently said, we can look up news ourselves.

Is this brain eating thing worldwide?

I don't go swimming into lakes for exactly that reason. I also don't leave the house, because i might get run over by a car

That's why I don't go swimming in lakes. Never know what's in there. :?
That's why I never go outside, never know who or what is out there... :-w

The odds that that amoebea will eat your brain is about the same as getting struck by a lightning.

I read about this this morning. Pretty strange, but I didn;t have time to really go through it (had somewhere to be and I woke up late).
