I moved into an old cottage recently in the middle of the countryside and in my first shower taken at the property I tilted my head back to wash my face and a dose of warm shower water ran straight up my nostrils and then down my throat which caused me to have a choking attack like you get when you swallow a drink or piece of food "down the wrong hole".
That was roughly 1.5 weeks ago and over the last few days I have developed cold/flu like symptoms; sore throat, headaches, body aches, fizzy sore sinus and a stiff neck.
Now my partner and family and even my work colleagues have all had colds recently so it wouldnt't surprise someone with a rational mind but now I am constantly worrying that it could be symptoms of an Naegleria fowleri brain infection.
The water is from the mains and I have read that UK water is treated but I am worried that because the property was empty for over a year before we moved in it could have been stagnant water in the pipes harbouring Naegleria fowleri.
I have read so many articles about Naegleria fowleri and the symptoms such as loss of smell and taste, nausea, feeling confused and audio and visual hallucinations and I feel like I have had a bit of all of them over the last few days especially the cold/flu like symptoms.
I have been in a bit of an anxious trance over the last 2 days like I am waiting for the end of the world, waiting for death to come knocking at my door, I am worried I will suddenly collapse and then it's lights out.
Am I at risk or am I losing my mind?
