Nalgeria Fowleri from cleaning grease trap at work

[NervousSubject]

I'm at work right now and I'm about to go to the hospital. Today I was tasked with cleaning the grease trap in the rotisserie section. It was disgusting and smelled horrible and now I'm afraid I might have accidentally inhaled a speck of old grease water from the trap and I'm going to die in a few days from Nalgeria Fowleri aka Brain eating amoeba. Please help me I need to go to the hospital.

You need to get your anxiety under control.

Everywhere I've read, it sounds like the grease trap is a perfect environment, it's a little warm, its wet, its grease mixed with tap water

The chances are absolutely miniscule

This is staggeringly rare, it's a condition that shows up fewer than 8 times a year across the entire USA.

Where is the world is this coming from? WHO gets brain eating amoeba? Why why why would you jump to this conclusion? ?

It is real. People HAVE died from it.

You are not going to die from it. You would have to literally shove the stuff up your nose and breathe it is for a prolonged amount of time and that is ONLY if it even had the virus to give you it.

Your HA is making you think irrationally

It is real. People HAVE died from it.

123 cases in the US since 1962.

That's 2 people per year out of
331,195,364. (2019 US population)

You should get your affairs in order.
