Child harmed by brain-eating amoeba in Israeli waters
The Israeli Ministry of Health confirmed that a 9-year-old child was infected with the parasite "Naegleria fowleri," known as the "brain-eating amoeba," after arriving at Rambam Hospital in Haifa in critical condition. This infection is rare and life-threatening; it is usually transmitted through hot water and untreated rivers and can cause rapid meningitis. It is believed that the child was exposed to the parasite through the use of unsterilized water, and intensive medical efforts are now underway to treat him.
