The Brain Eating Amoeba
A war has been going on for billions of years that breeds well armed monsters who struggle with other monsters for survival. Having no particular interest in us, most of them are relatively harmless, as our immune systems deal with their weapons handily. But there are exceptions.
Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba that not only has developed a deadly taste for human brains but is also a match for our defenses and a guest in dramatic headlines. What happens when this monster enters your body?

If they like heat drink a milkshake it’s cold and will probably make you have a brain freeze
Take a moment to appreciate the spikes in animation quality
Nobody:
Me at 0:07 , knowing damn well that among us isn't funny anymore: Among us parasites.
I will never go to the pool again
Can we fight Naegleria Fowleri itself, if it doesn't cause symptoms?
Me Don have Bain cels
Just watched an episode of Dr. House with this parasite. It was horrible.
So thats why some people are scare of water
A B r (I used lowercase R as gamma because it's the closest to it) ∆ E Z H ∅ I K / M N 3 (used three cause yes) O Π P S T Y o|o X (|) Ω
Well can't you just kill it by going in very cold water
Naegleria Fowleri in a nutshell: If it enters your body…your most likely fucked-
I have one question: can a bacteriophage kill the brain eater?
4:13 HOLY SHIT THE GUARDS
That the shit that got in our water (from tx)
They can't eat my brain if I got it rotten first!
Dumber = Safer
Suddenly I don’t want to swim anymore
8:18 "not to worry since naegleria has to make its way through your first line of defense" -kurzgesagt after telling you how mildly your immune system bothers the amoeba during its entry
The music is so funky I love it
good
gotten these like three times
poor fellas all died of hunger
So In a way we are kinda like planets supporting life that seems to protect us from viruses like corona or nursing eater now I respect my cells allot better now
I really enjoy seeing the narrator visualized into a character at the end, that was a fun little part.
Swim = no
the signs seem like i had Amoeba 12 times by now 💀💀💀
Where in the world r they found?
This is why am am scared of swimming when am was 6 or 5 maybe.. so i dont wanna go swimming..
8:43 that ENDING tho
Life hack:blow your nose
Depression already in my mental. No place for brain eaters. But thanks for giving anxiety, it makes people laugh at me because stress gives white stuff on my hair. Laughs are fun but I don't laugh. Wish to not exist anymore. That black goo at the end is the size of my depression.
Me: has hazmat suit when I go into water
Thalasaphobia (the fear of the ocean) aquired! I have yet another emotional scar!
"so how do I get rid of it?"
"you can't"
X_X
"but- oh he's dead."
So it's like a mini war being waged in the brain.
Well if I'm gonna die might as well die fighting invaders IG.
PI thought that species died of starvation in America long ago.
Question, could bacteriophages be used to stop this?
Is it too soon to find the right helper t-cell? or is there not one for this?
how rare is it to get it-AND IN WHAT AREAS OW THE WORLD ARE THEY🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It's like a body war
