How To Prevent Amoebic Meningoencephalitis

Emptying Wading Pools Daily

Wading pools are prone to quick temperature increases due to their typically small size. They are often used to clean bare feet from dirt or grass before entering a larger pool. This means dirt can quickly collect on the bottom of the pool. Naegleria fowleri is found in soil along with other bacteria. They can be carried into wading pools on an individual and feed on other bacteria in the warm water.
