Naegleria fowleri
Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba (one-celled living organism) that lives in soil and warm fresh water, such as lakes, rivers, and hot springs. It is commonly called the brain-eating amoeba because it can cause brain infection when water containing the amoeba rises in the nose. Only about three people in the United States are infected each year, but these infections are usually fatal. (Photo by: CDC/IMAGE POINT FR/BSIP/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)
