A rare but fatal brain infection can occur using a Neti Sinus Pot with plain tap water.
You may have already read or seen this in your local news but it is important to pass on as many are finding these sinus pots to be very effective in home treatment of sinus blockages.
This is a good news bad news story, because it is very rare and can easily be prevented. Many self-sufficient people have the Neti Sinus Pot a simple and effective natural way to relieve sinus issues.
The Neti Pot looks like a genie lamp, and allows you to flush out sinus blockages. The Neti Pot is still reported to be safe if it is used only with distilled or boiled water as tap water can introduce Naegleria, leading to an infection called amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).
PAM is very rare disease with only 32 known cases over the past 10 years, however the last two most recent cases were connected directly to people using the Neti Sinus Pot with plain tap water.
The early symptoms of PAM may mimic a typical cold with headaches, fever, but turns quickly into nausea, vomiting, and a stiff neck. Then the disease rapidly attacks the brain causing dizzinesss difficult balance, hallucinations, leading to death within days to under two weeks of the diagnosis.
The other good news is that experts indicate it can only be contracted by contaminated water coming into the nasal passages, such as swimming with the head underwater in a poorly treated swimming pool lake or river. It is not contracted by simply drinking the tap water.
