N Fowleri risk from water

Question

Asked for Male, 51 Years

Sorry for asking again but I request humbly please alay my fear that if while drinking water I blew my nose accidently because there was a fly that sat on my nose, will blowing my nose while drinking water cause any water to go up the nose to cause N Fowleri infection? I was eating outside in a dhaba and so the water might not be that clean.
