Woman dies from brain-eating amoeba after using tap water to clear sinuses, CDC says The CDC said a 71-year-old woman in Texas died after contracting a brain-eating amoeba infection from using tap water to clear out her sinuses.

Do not use tap water to flush your sinuses. Free living amoeba might find their way to your brain and chew it up. There are no effective treatments for these infections.

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right. Rosa Parks

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right. Rosa Parks

Pep talk time. For some of us this is incredibly new. For others, painfully familiar. Because we the people have been here before. Pushing back against government, systems, and even each other. Open a history book. Look at whose shoulders we have been standing on.

I’m retired CDC. I loved working there. It was an honor. Our duty is to the country-to the people. To seek the health of the people. Information & data must be shared.

Targeting is not far away, to other people. It is all of us. It is happening to factual information. Access to it is being restricted & blocked.

May I interject? Scientists in that group need to be aware that scientists & research are being targeted as well. See CDC, NIH. Appreciate your prayers. πŸ™πŸΎ Thanks

Just because your degree isn’t from a research university doesn’t make it or you less valuable. Live your destiny. Do your work. The world needs it. We’re waiting for it. πŸ™πŸΎ

I’m watching the Carter funeral and crying, grieving not just for his loss but I also grieve for my country.

I’m realizing how much I miss having something to be proud of.
