Be weary when swimming in freshwater. If you have a headache after swimming, immediately go to the emergency room and inform your doctor that you have been in freshwater. #WednesdayWisdom

These diseases may be hard to pronounce, but they cause tremendous suffering for millions.

All of them can be prevented — and if the 🌎 works together, we can defeat them.

@CNN @HLNTV "Something's killing me" 1st episode was a fantastic documentary on the brain-eating amoeba and how dangerous it is. Impavido needs to be in more hospitals across the country! Seconds matter with this deadly disease! https://t.co/a2ZLKGzk69

[Jeff Ruby @TheRealJeffRuby]

Parent Tip: Brain eating amoebas in fresh water pools ,lakes etc.Go thru noise to the brain. Only 4 kids survived. @CNN “ Something’s Killing Me” is heartbreaking documentary.

@reenwilson @AmoebaSeason Avoid freshwater exposure but if you decide to jump in, wear nose and ear plugs. If you have a headache after swimming in freshwater, immediately go to the emergency room and tell the doctor of your activities!
