Sounds like something out of a zombie movie.

While officials say the water is safe for drinking, residents are urged to use caution with the water, not letting it get into their nose. Humans are infected when water containing the amoeba travels through the nose and migrates to the brain, destroying the tissue.

Don't laugh while you sip your ice water in Louisiana, it could result in voting democrat in the next election!

Bye golly that sounds whats wrong with most of Congress.

Any way to pipe that water into the White Hut O’Muslims?

Oh, forgot, they’re already working without much brains.

So, you can drink it, but you can’t bathe in it, or even wash your hands and most certainly not your face.

That’s not good. You can buy bottled water to drink, but it’s very difficult to take a bath in.

They’ll starve to death in N’awlins.

[loungitude]

Oh, yeah, I’ll drink that! The TV said it was OK.

For information.......

Ascension Parish and a site in St. Bernard Parish are the other two locations
not mentioned in the snippet.

I thought that brain-eating amoebas were found in public schools and universities. I know brain dead teachers and students are found there so I simply assumed.

That explains a lot.

If this amoeba found its way into the D.C. water supply, it would starve.

How warm is warm?

I jumped of a boat into a lake in east Tenn. a couple weeks ago. The water went up my nose and THEN I remembered our friend with boundary issues, N. fowleri.

So my kids should be fine because I told them to hold their noses.

The water was a real pretty greenish color. How warm is warm?
