Alright, kids! It's time for everybody's favorite game, WHAT'S EATING ME NOW?
Today's carnivorous guest is a brain eating amoeba named Naegleria fowleri.
Now I know it sounds like something out of a Lovecraft bestiary, but this gelatinous monster can be found in warm bodies of fresh water; lakes, ponds, etc.. It swims up the nose looking for tasty bacteria to nosh. Finding none, it goes on to sloppy seconds. YOUR BRAINS. With the globe getting warmer and warmer, could Naegleria mutate into something more...fun? Show us in your next story.
