A member asked:
We have well water to our home, not city water toddler was taking a bath and put face under water and sniffed up the well water into nose. how worried should i be about a brain eating amoeba?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amoebic infections are extremely rare and usually occur in warm, brackish water, not in wells. However, your concerns can be alleviated by having samples of your well water periodically tested for contaminants, and infective organisms.
