Brain-Eating Amoeba Eyed in Death of Ohio Teen An 18-year-old Ohio woman died after apparently contracting a brain-eating amoeba while swimming out of state, it was reported Tuesday. A representative with Westerville City Schools, where the woman attended school, told NBC station WCMH in Columbus that the woman contracted meningoencephalitis. The woman was not identified and the exact location where she went swimming was not specified. I am going to guess she swam here : Texas and Florida lead in reported cases of primary amebic meningoencephalitis during that time frame. California, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia are the next highest, with between five and nine cases each, according to the CDC. I guess it is brain eating amoeba season due to higher temperatures? Can a mod edit in the thread title to include parasites and amoebas or would the title get too big? Watch where you swim.

Its not just China and India folks, my mother in law collects and hoards antibiotics then tries to give it to any of us or our kids who get sick. She seems to think of them like rpg healing potions "oh you have a cough here take some of these pills" "no nanny what the hell is wrong with you biology doesn't work like you think it works"

Update on the brain amoebas., The U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, has stopped all whitewater activities after an Ohio teen died after allegedly contracted a brain-eating amoeba during a visit to the park. "The USNWC, after discussion with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and local health officials, has decided to temporarily suspend all whitewater activities effective immediately," according to a statement from the facility obtained by PEOPLE. "This decision was made after initial test results found Naegleria Fowleri DNA was present in the whitewater system," the statement said. "The USNWC is working with the CDC and local health officials to develop next steps." Eighteen-year-old Lauren Seitz of Westerville, Ohio, died June 19th after health department officials say the raft she was in overturned and the amoeba went up her nose, causing the deadly infection. http://www.people.com/article/whitewater-center-closes-brain-eating-amoeba-north-carolina

I once read that if no one in the world used penicillin it would only take 2 years to for penicillin resistance to be bred out of every currently resistant disease.

I'm currently suffering from a MDR infection, which has been recurring far too much. A doctor looked at my records yesterday and said as the Penicillin combodrug I've been given before, he'd prescribe that again. I went and saw a specialist today and he actually looked into my microbiology records from a previous infection. It's actually quite scary to look at a fairly big list of antibiotics and see "R" listed next to all of them except for the last one (R meaning Resistant). The penicillin I was prescribed yesterday can't help me. So, looks like I'm on the last type of antibiotics that can treat me (phosphonates - only 300,000 hits on the google). So uhh what happens when that fails?? Feeling better already though.

Bacteria use DNA like a toolbox. They've got the solutions to all sorts of problems up inside their biz, so even if no bacteria were currently penicillin resistant, as soon as we started using penicillin again, resistance would show up again in no time. The idea of cycling antibiotics in and out of use is a good one though. That way you've always got something that could work in an emergency.
