Louisiana health officials have warned about the amoeba *Acanthamoeba*, which can cause serious eye infections when contact lenses are cleaned with tap water. Ten infections have been reported in the state since 2024, including eight cases of keratitis. Seven of those infected wore contact lenses, and five permanently lost their sight. In 2026, two serious infections were reported in people with weakened immune systems, one of which was fatal; tap water has not been confirmed as the source of infection. Experts recommend using solutions specifically made for contact lenses, keeping lenses away from water, and using sterile or boiled-and-cooled water for nasal rinsing.
