Louisiana state health officials are warning patients about potential dangers of using tap water in the sinus-irrigating neti pot after two patients died.
N. fowleri is known as a "brain-eating" amoeba because it can enter a patient's nose, and infect the brain.
The amoeba usually infects patients that submerge their heads in freshwater lakes and rivers, though it can be transmitted through inadequately chlorinated pool water or underheated tap water that enters a patient's nose.
