Water drop fell in nose
I read about a few cases of N Fowleri in Kerala this year. I heard it can happen if unchlorinated water goes in nose. I was lying in bed reading something when a drop of water came straight in my nose from the open tap in verandah. Since I was lying so nose would have been upside down, and water we use is unchlorinated borewell water, the one you draw with pump and stored in overhead tank. Can I get N Fowleri infection? I am very very tensed right now.
