1 yr ago i went in a hot tub in new zealand and hit my knee which started to bleed. now i read about naegleria fowleri and got worried. am i ok?

Odd question: Naegleria is an amoeba that inhabits dank ponds and eddies where warm standing water exist in the wild. It has nothing to do with hot tubs unless you fill it with such pond water. It would also have nothing to do with a bleeding injury. If you acquired it, you would be dead within a few days, not incubate it for a year or more.
