If you don’t have anything better to read, I’m here for you. Case in point: The press has been reporting lately on several deaths involving flesh eating amoeba in neti pots. In case you don’t know about neti pots, I googled it for you. Used for years in Indian Ayurvedic practice , a neti pot is a small vessel designed to rinse the nasal cavity to help reduce mucus build up and relief for sinusitis related discomfort. There, now you know. Apparently there have been several deaths from water borne, flesh eating amoeba that are in the water used for rinsing. Instructions say you should use a mild warm saline water, heated to 98 degrees. If there are any microbes in the water, well, that’s the recipe for starting a new planet. So avoid the primordial stew in your nose, use distilled water, or just try a good sneeze.

Got something to say? Lemeno.
