Fear grows / Rare brain-eating amoeba kills 45-year-old man

A terrifying brain - eating amoeba has killed a man, sparking fears the infection could have infected the water supply, reports The Sun.

Health officials are desperately investigating how the shopkeeper, Adnan Tariq, contracted the killer bug in Pakistan.

Tariq, 45, developed fever on Wednesday night and was admitted to a private hospital in Sindh on Thursday. He was later transferred to intensive care.

His condition worsened and he passed away the next day, prompting an emergency investigation where it was discovered he was infected with the killer amoeba from the water.

Amoeba can be found in various freshwater environments, including rivers, hot springs, lakes, ponds, etc.

The dangerous amoeba can enter the human body through the nose, leading to a deadly brain infection known as naegleriasis.

The appearance of the terrible infection in Pakistan has only happened since 2008./ CNA
