Western Australians are being warned about a deadly organism that can lurk in untreated or poorly treated water during a heatwave, as the state swelters under scorching temperatures. Naegleria fowleri amoeba feeds on bacteria and grows in warm, fresh water sources — it can cause amoebic meningitis, a rare but usually fatal disease which destroys a person’s brain tissue.
“At particular risk are people in rural areas who have their own tank, dam or bore water supply, including those living on farms and people with poorly maintained swimming pools. “It can affect people of any age, however children and young people are usually more susceptible due to their increased use of swimming pools and engaging in activities that could force water up the nose.
