Risk of N Fowleri infection
I try to forget but each time something happens that causes my fear more. I had kept borewell water in fridge for 4-5 hours and wahed my eyes with it. I felt some water going in my nose and tried to blow it out. But seconds later I sneezed. Now I am very scared that the air intake while sneezing might have pulled any drop of water in the nostril near the brain. Can any drop of water present in nostril while sneezing be pulled up in the far up region of the brain to cause infection? Can sneezing action cause the water to go that up? Please guide me so that I can know the chances and probably will have to wait and watch.
