I just heard about this for the first time. A kid died from this amoeba that swims up the nose and eats the brain. They have had 23 such deaths in the US since 1995 from this. The amoeba lives in warm shallow water or could even live in your pool. They warn not to swim where you see algae.

Gives me the heebie geebies. <img src='http://www.85239.com/desktopmodules/ntforums/images/emoticons/sick.gif' height='20' width='20' border='0' title='Sick' align='absmiddle'><img src='http://www.85239.com/desktopmodules/ntforums/images/emoticons/crying.gif' height='20' width='20' border='0' title='Crying' align='absmiddle'>

I'm just glad they were able to kill the amoeba in 06 before it ate ALL of her brain.
