Brain-Eating Bacteria Loves Global Warming

As if there weren't enough things to worry about that could happen with climate change. It turns out that a rare brain-eating amoeba called naegleria thrives in warm fresh water. The amoeba enters through the nose and basically eats your brain. Death comes creeping in about two weeks later. The most common symptom is a persistence headache. Once infected, there is little chance of survival. Although extremely rare, there was a spike this year and six people lost their lives in the US this summer. The CDC warns that there could be an upswing in cases in the coming decades. Warmer temperatures equal more brain-eating amoebas. Ah global warning, is there nothing too terrifyingly weird it can't do?
