Washing hair with overhead tank water
I read that in India a few cases of N Fowleri were found. If while washing hair or face, some water enters nose and if we blow nose to get it out, can water actually get sucked up to the sinus as a result? Will it cause the amoeba to go up the brain from sinus?
