How do I save myself
I use underground water drawn via submersible pump that we store in tank on terrace. The problem is I hardly get a chance to clean the tank since there isn't a proper staircase made. Often while flushing or washing a few drizzles or drops of water fall in face and sometimes I can feel the droplets falling in nostrils too. Ever since I read about N Fowleri infection, try as much but each time such incidence happens I fear for my life as I read it is mostly fatal. Can such infection happen merely by some droplets falling in nostril and us breathing them or it usually can occur when a lot of water enters nose forcibly. I consulted many doctors but can someone please clarify this for me.  It is summer so that makes me more scared. Is it prevalent in UP?

Nothing to worry. If it worries you too much, you can wear a mask while flushing
