It's difficult to treat a brain-eating amoeba infection, also known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), and almost all reported cases are fatal in humans:
Treatment
While some drugs have been effective in laboratory studies, successful treatment of human cases is rare. The recommended treatment is the antifungal amphotericin B, along with other drugs like rifampin, fluconazole, and miltefosine. Miltefosine is a microbe-killing drug that can be life-saving if given immediately after diagnosis.
Diagnosis
Prompt diagnosis and treatment may help. PAM progresses quickly, and death usually occurs 3 to 7 days after symptoms appear.
Survival
Only a few patients worldwide have been reported to have survived an infection. In three of those cases, patients received miltefosine early in treatment.
To reduce your risk of infection, you can:
Avoid diving or jumping into fresh water
Use nose clips or pinch your nose shut while swimming
Keep your head out of the water
Avoid hot springs and other untreated geothermal water
Avoid stirring up the sediment at the bottom of warm fresh water
Symptoms of brain-eating amoeba, also known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), include:
Early symptoms: Fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, stiff neck, and sensitivity to light
Later symptoms: Confusion, loss of balance, lack of attention, hallucinations, seizures, and coma
Other symptoms: Runny nose or nose bleeds, sore throat, alterations in taste and smell, and swollen lymph nodes
Symptoms usually appear within 2 to 15 days after exposure to the amoeba, but can appear as early as 1 day. PAM progresses quickly, and most people die within 1 to 18 days after symptoms begin.
You should seek immediate medical care if you develop any of these symptoms, especially if you've been in warm fresh water.
To prevent infection, you can:
Keep your head out of hot springs and other bodies of untreated geothermal water
Don't dig into or stir up the sediment at the bottom of shallow bodies of warm fresh water
PAM is caused by Naegleria fowleri, a single-celled organism that lives in soil and warm freshwater environments. Infection occurs only when water enters the nose, and you cannot be infected from swallowing water. Naegleria fowleri is not contagious and cannot be spread from person to person.

天津大学泰达医院重症医学科主任医师王一旻表示，狒狒巴拉姆希阿米巴原虫为阿米巴原虫的一种，虽然阿米巴原虫（俗称“食脑虫”）引发脑炎致死率较高，但发病罕见。成人和儿童在游玩中做好防护，一般就不会被感染。“食脑虫”并非吃人脑 “‘食脑虫’这个名字听着挺吓人，但其实它并不会吃人的大脑。‘食脑虫’会破坏脑组织引发感染，导致急性出血性脑膜炎，甚至最终可能导致死亡。

好吧

狂犬病的死亡几率是99%
Show post...
这不是狂犬病，而是一种噬脑细菌，但它仍然非常危险，尽管我们不应该妄下结论，而应该试图弄清楚 Kyanny 到底得了什么病，
他们说医生最了解
Show post...
What about we raise a fundraising campaign to potentially help with Kyanny's disease?
我们发起一个筹款活动来帮助治疗 Kyanny 的疾病怎么样？
Show post...
同意します。 (I agree.)
Why are we speaking different languages now
Show post...
我真的希望 kyanny 能活下来，我想这样死去对她来说一定非常痛苦，这甚至不是快速的死亡，而是一种缓慢而痛苦的死亡方式
我有一个主意/I have an idea

我上一年级。我在2017年6.7，老家开沙场的，在那天突发洪水，我为了上学所以，我冲下水，拼命的游泳，游了10米，两眼不知不觉的发白，梦中太奶对我说：“加油，我的外孙子！”我猛然苏醒，我不知不觉游了10米，游上了岸。我一家子人还想我死了，盖上白布，准备吃席我的席呢！
