Doctor Warns Against Using Tap Water for Nasal Rinses: Risk of Brain-Eating Amoeba
In a short video that has gained popularity on social media, Dr. Sooj, a board-certified family medicine physician, warns against using tap water for nasal rinsing. He explains that tap water may contain Naegleria fowleri, a brain-eating amoeba, even though it's safe to drink. "The boiling process will destroy this amoeba," Dr. Sooj states, recommending the use of distilled or sterile water instead. The video highlights the body's natural defenses, but also emphasizes that using tap water increases the risk of infection. This information is particularly relevant given the increasing popularity of nasal irrigation for treating allergies and sinus issues. While such infections are rare, Dr. Sooj's warning serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of using safe water for nasal rinsing.
