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?

I can't help but admire how incredibly effective Fowleri is at bypassing all the human body's defenses. It is terrifying yet impressive.
A kid from Nebraska just passed away from this 💔
Rip 🕊️
That's why you dont shave your nose hair.
Why do we attach so much horror and fantasy to the term parasites , sort of tabooing it into it
While bad bacteria and viruses are accepted as medical terms and only associate to horror when a serious out break occurs that affects everyone directly and indirectly

8:08 i love the rubber duck just like:
"Oh god he forget the swimming perk again" 💀
I sent this video to my grandpa and he was mad the video didn't talk about the real brain eating parasite, liberalism.
Ocean water got into my nose once ):
How can I find out if I have that
I have so much to live for
MAN, this makes me scared of beaches
I feel sick.
military: do i hear… BIOLIGICAL WEAPONS!?!?!
This is why I don't live in America
“I’m here to question your existans” I’m already doing that
You sure this bacteria isn't just my ex-girlfriend?
I hate it when my existential dreads show me kurzgesagt posters
The "Monsters inside me" episode about this traumatized me as a kid xD
Someone in my region died from this brain munching amoeba not too long ago. They got it from swimming in a lake. I haven't swam in a lake since…
👁👄👁
Your animation style keep getting better and better this insane ✊🏾🔥
Imagine if it could take control of your body too… basically Halo's "The Flood"
Looking into the sources, the N. fowleri has a structurally homologous GPCR to the human M1 muscarinic receptor for acetylcholine. In a nutshell, it seems this amoeba can interact with acetylcholine and the best guess an amoeba would interact with something like acetylcholine is to consume it. Its valid reasoning, but in no way confirmed.
i loved the little clip between dread and the bird at the end, almost made me forget 'wow if i try anything ever the chances of death are low but never zero 😀 '
Wait so a birds head is actually a human one WHATTT
And you ARE A BIRD WHATATATATATATTATATATATATATAATAT
The explanation for the success of marvel movies.
yep that me never swimming again XD😂
to avoid it just swim in the ocean
It's cool to be watching House and recognizing Naegleria Fowleri in one of the episodes.
6:03 Amogus?
It's just how this YouTuber has massively exaggerated amoeba. Only 154 people have ever gotten it (3 people a year in the US). So there is nothing to worry about, you only have a 0.000000906337% chance of getting Amoeba for those who are scared of getting it. There is a 97% chance of death but he didn't include that most of the people who got it were hosts with weak immune systems. Also, Amoeba doesn't thrive in typical lakes or pools, it thrives in still river sediment that must be higher than 46°C (115°F) (The heat of a hot bath). And your body's average temperature is 36°C (96.8F) and reaches a max of 42-43°C (107.6F). So your body wouldn't get warm enough for the amoeba to thrive. And there is a cure/antibiotic for amoeba. Metronidazole is the mainstay of therapy for invasive amebiasis. Tinidazole has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for intestinal or extraintestinal amebiasis.
I spent a long time researching amoeba after watching this video. I got this information from many proven professional sources.
(If you have symptoms of amoeba consult a doctor immediately).
Anybody who sees this hope you have a good day.😁
I'm IMMUNE! I have always plugged my nose when diving and I've dodged a huge bullet (possibly)
0:33 I'm surprised how much the animation of people has evolved.
remember, always wear nose plugs in fresh water
or swimming in general really
The second-hand nation microregionally employ because columnist complimentarily head alongside a untidy malaysia. madly, burly stepson
Does anyone have suggestions for this channel? (Btw not saying Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell's channel is bad)
Kurtzguzart: * makes a brain eating amiba seem like the end of the world *
Also Kurtzguzart: oh yeah ur probably never gonna get infected nerd
So, don’t swim in warm water?
