Sirf 8 din mein maut! Nasal rinse device se hui deadly infection – jaane kaise bachein iss khatarnak amoeba se!
Texas ki ek 71 saal ki mahila ki maut ho gayi ek khatarnak “brain-eating amoeba” (Naegleria fowleri) ki wajah se. Mahila ne apne RV (Recreational Vehicle) ke faucet se aaya tap water nasal rinse device mein use kiya tha, bina ubale hue paani se. CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) ke mutabik, mahila bilkul healthy thi aur ek campground par stay kar rahi thi.
Nasal rinse use karne ke sirf 4 din baad, unko severe neurological symptoms hone lage – jaise tez bukhar, headache, aur mental confusion. Doctors ne unka treatment primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) ke liye kiya, jo ek rare aur deadly brain infection hai, lekin 8 din baad unki maut ho gayi.
CDC ne confirm kiya ki unke cerebrospinal fluid mein Naegleria fowleri amoeba mil gaya tha. Yeh amoeba zyada tar garam paani, lakes, ponds ya rivers ke neeche ki mitti mein milta hai, aur garmiyon mein iska risk badh jata hai.
Bachav
Nasal rinse device use karte waqt hamesha distilled, sterile, ya ubala hua aur thanda kiya hua paani hi use karein.
Swimming karte waqt sir ko paani ke andar na le jaayein, especially garam paani mein.
Lakes, ponds, rivers ke bottom ki mitti ko na hilayein.
Agar aapko sudden headache, fever, stiff neck, ya vomiting ho – especially agar aapne recently warm freshwater mein swimming ki ho – toh turant doctor ko dikhayein.
