Ameba come cerebros llega a aguas de Luisiana

By Manuel Crespo Feliciano, Accuweather en Español staff writer

Un reciente descubrimiento de una rara ameba “come cerebros”, tiene al pueblo de Terrebonne (Luisiana) en alerta.

Esta es la tercera vez que la ameba, conocida como Naegleria fowleri, se ha encontrado en el suministro de agua del pueblo en los últimos tres años, según CBS News.

"Después de consultar con los ingenieros del Departamento de Salud de Luisiana, hemos cambiado nuestro procedimiento de desinfección de cloramina a cloro libre", dijeron los funcionarios del Consolidado de Suministros de Agua de Luisiana.

CBS News informó que la amenaza de la ameba es tanta que ha mantenido a los residentes alejados de las piscinas y los pantanos cercanos, del agua potable y el agua de la ducha pues también pueden contaminarse.

"Me asusta un poco porque este es mi hogar, no puedo hacer lo que suelo hacer", dijo Lindsey Dupre a WWL-TV. "Quiero saber que estoy segura en vez de estar perdiendo la cabeza por una ameba".
