Anxious about N Fowleri infection
My sister washed her hands and didn't wipe it properly and a drop of water shot up my nose as she walked past me. I tried to blow my nose several times to try to take it out. But now I am scared to the point that I don't know what to do? As it is summer and the water in our terrace tank is drawn from motor from underground and not chlorinated, I am afraid. I don't want to die like this. What chances of infection is there? Please please help.
Thanks
