Baby died after playing in the nursery water park The emergency occurred in the state of Arkansas in the USA. The Mirror writes about this. According to journalists, a parasite that eats the brain has entered the child's body.
This is the fifth case in the United States over the past year. A small amoeba enters the human body along with splashes of water, penetrates the blood and, with its current, into the brain. There it begins its destructive effect. Unfortunately, the diagnosis is made too late. The person quickly dies. However, American doctors note that so far this disease cannot be transmitted from person to person.
In addition, the amoeba does not live in drinking water. The first signs of infection will be severe headache, nausea and vomiting. Then stiffness of the neck muscles, hallucinations, and changes in mental state appear. In the United States, since the disease was diagnosed, only five survivors of this disease are known.
This time the victim was a one and a half year old baby. An analysis of the water from the water park has already confirmed the presence of a viable amoeba. Most likely, the child inhaled the spray and thus gave the infection access to his body.
