N Fowleri risk
Dear doctors thanks for replying. I splashed some water on my face and some drops went inside my nostrils too. So as I was trying to expel the water out by blowing persistently, I felt like tiny droplets or aerosols were created and I could feel it arising from my mouth, throat, my nasal passages and inside my nose. So now I am very tensed that how did that happen and would the water drops in my nostril have also become aerosols and got mixed with the aerosol from my nasal passages? Can the aerosol mixture this go to my sinuses or the olfactory nerves and can N Fowleri infection happen in this way? I read it has no cure mostly and so am very scared. Please reply and clear my anxiety if I am at risk?
