@Jim14510 don't believe the liberal media scare tactics. Start doing neti pots with water from the river.

He’s not scared of monkey pox so I doubt he is scared of brain killing amoeba

I don't know what a neti pot is but it still made me laugh.

I've never used a neti pot. That's weird. Also that would be really gross to use river water.

Not sure I agree yet that the river water would have this issue. It least I hope not

Shit we grew up swimming and camping on the Elkhorn River. Maybe that's whats wrong with me. Caught something from the river water. Grandpa and I caught hundreds of catfish out of there. Tubed & canoed down it. Spent days playing on the sandbars. Camp on the river banks and sand bars. And in one case camped on a sandbar and our tent almost ended up in the river. River ate away over 25 feet of the sandbar overnight. We woke up to our tent only being a foot from the water's edge, with a 2-3 foot drop off. Can't image it would have been a good thing to be swept away by the water at night zipped up in a tent. We could have had the same result as that Ameba
