I can't sleep. I've had a headache since yesterday, it feels like a tension headache but i keep thinking it could be brain eating amoeba. It has been ridiculously hot here these past days and i recall some drops of water on my nose when i was washing my face. I have never liked water on my nose so as soon as i feel it i blow air and dry my nose but i fear some amoebas could have survived or something and that the headache is the infection setting in :( the water here is supposedly treated but IT IS SO HOT. I literally cant feel any difference between the hot and cold water.
I am so scared :(

Those kinds of amoebas are very rare, and yes it is hot, however things like that can only survive in places like lakes and rivers. The water treatment plants treat the water and filter it to the max to make sure it is safe. Regardless of temp.
