Not a problem: Amoebas that are a problem are found in natural waterways and lakes. Tap water does not contain them and is treated to prevent these and many other infestations. Bath and shower water enters the eyes of millions every day with no adverse results. Enjoy your bath.

no: As long as your bath water is clean and your hands are clean.
