“Brain Eater”: vacationers should protect themselves against this

Date:

What a horror: while bathing, a man in Pakistan became infected with a brain-eating amoeba – he died. And we have these beasts too! But should you be afraid of every jump in the water? And what other health risks are lurking for us holidaymakers in other countries? We asked around.

You really shouldn’t demonize any living thing – but let’s face it: what makes us zombies really doesn’t need anyone in the world. The amoeba species Naegleria fowleri would be such. It invades our brains – and hardly anyone survives. Not even the bodybuilder who is now in Pakistan: the man had complained of a severe headache after going to the swimming pool. He later died in a hospital Lahore.
