Have you seen the movie 'Train to Busan'? A terrible virus attacks the human brain. This makes the man go crazy. Then he wants to bite others too. This terrible virus also enters the body of the person who is bitten. The veins and sub-veins of the body turn and reach the brain. Makes infected people crazy.Not just 'Train to Busan', such incidents have been seen in various zombie movies, where certain microorganisms enter the bodies of healthy people, kill them or otherwise harm them.
In the real world, I think such a microbe was found! Tell a story, listen.
Eddie Gray, 59, lives in North Carolina, USA. Even at this age the body is quite fit. This ever-smiling guy loves to run around in the water. He is addicted to kayaking, skiing and diving. When you get a little rest, run to jump in the water.
Went to Fantasy Lake Water Park in Cumberland County on July 12, 2019. After a long day in the water, North Carolina returned home well. But from the next day he was feeling mild headache and fever. Didn't pay much attention at first, but if the problem continues to grow, go to the doctor. Doctors also thought of something like fever, influenza or dengue. He was being treated that way, but was not improving.
At one point his CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) was tested. To perform this test, fluid is collected from the spinal cord of the patient. This procedure is called lumbar puncture. The results showed that Eddie Gray had a very rare disease. A rare species of amoeba nests in its brain. Andabachcha has boiled and made a huge colony.These amoebas are taking in the neurons of the brain as food! In medical terms, this disease is called Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM).
We know that the amoeba is a tiny organism, much like a virus or a bacterium. However, they are not parasites like viruses. You don't have to attack other animals to survive. They can survive independently. So how did this amoeba get into the brain?
It is known that the amoebas of this species (name Naegleria fowleri) live in freshwater mud. Ponds, lakes, rivers or lakes are very suitable places for them. Staying there under normal conditions, the mud survives by eating the various bacteria inside. But when a person swims in the water, in very rare cases this amoeba can enter through his nose.
Then it goes to the brain through the nose. That's where the house is built. There are no more bacteria in the brain. So whatever is in front of the eyes, the neurons and nerve cells continue to eat. And then PAM happens.
