A member asked:

Can you contract naegleriasis by inhaling through your nose when there is steam rising from the warm water even when no water has entered the nose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Uncertain about the diagnostic category you describe. But as a general rule of thumb the answer is no but it can occur as a result of water that's been contaminated going into the nose during activities like swimming, bathing or nasal irrigation
