The Dawn :

 New fatal disease Naegleria Fowleri has become fatal  among the towns of Pakistan .
Naegleria fowleri has also been found from swimming pools that are poorly maintained and minimally-chlorinated in various farmhouses.the disease was found in warm freshwater, such as lakes and rivers, geothermal (naturally hot) water, hot springs, warm water discharge from industrial plants, swimming pools that were poorly maintained, minimally-chlorinated, and non-chlorinated water heaters. Naegleria fowleri grows best at higher temperatures up to 47 degree centigrade and can survive for short periods at higher temperatures, he added.“Citizens are advised to use boiled or chlorinated water for cleaning nose, as brain eating amoeba, enters the body through nose. The cases of the disease reported mainly during the summer season which is the hotbed of the breeding of the disease.” Signs and symptoms of the infection included severe frontal headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, stiff neck, seizures, altered mental status, hallucination and coma.
 It is to remind that these features do occur in other diseases like meningitis etc.
 The citizens are advised to immediately contact their doctors. However, the disease cannot be transmitted from one person to other. Citizens must avoid water activities in fresh warm water parks without ensuring that the water is properly chlorinated. They must use boiled or chlorinated water for nasal cleaning.
