Concern regarding nose
I breathed in or sniffed a few drops of water while washing mouth. Can it reach up the sinus or brain? Didn't do it aggressively but mildly by mistake. I tried to blow the water out by blowing my nose several times. Can blowing nose actually cause the water to go up to the point where one can get N Fowleri infection?
