Don't let your children's brains get eaten

WTF? This is some Australia shit.

''(CNN) -- It's eerie but it's true: Three people have died this summer after suffering rare infections from a waterborne amoeba that destroys the brain.

This is the time of year when there is an uptick in cases. The amoebas flourish in the heat -- especially during the summer months in the South, thriving in warm waters where people swim."

This happened in Texas last summer. Some kids went swimming in the Paluxy near Dinosaur Valley and an amoeba entered his system through one of their noses and ended up in his brain, killing him.

32 total cases in 10 years? That's pretty freaking rare.

This happened to a 9yo in my neck of the woods. News lady said this is the first time someone has died from it here since 1969.
