Fear of N Fowleri

Question

Fear of N Fowleri

Asked for Male, 51 Years

While brushing I had water in mouth while preparing to gargle, but suddenly I felt something in my nose, I so I started blowing my nose. I had read somewhere that we should blow nostrils one by one so was doing that. I felt some sprays of fluid coming from nose as I blew it. Could the water from the mouth have gone in the nasal passages deep enough to cause N Fowleri infection as our water is non chlorinated? Should I be worried about this incident?
