Although the brain eater carries it? Eat your brain? But they don't really eat brains, and there is no fact that brain eaters eat human brains. The real cause of death of brain eaters is that brain eaters can lead to severe brain bleeding and abscess, and destroy brain tissue and brain nerves. In medicine, the symptoms of brain-eating insect infection are called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).
The reason why the symptoms of brain-eating insect infection are called primary amoeba meningoencephalitis is because the brain-eating insect is an amoeba, and its full name is Entamoeba flexneri. Brain-eating insects can be parasitic in humans and animals, and can also live in nature. When brain-eating insects parasitize humans and animals, it will lead to disease and death. When living in nature, brain-eating insects mainly exist in water and wet soil.
Generally speaking, brain eaters are mainly distributed in natural waters such as rivers and ponds. This time, brain-eating insects caused great panic in the United States, mainly because the relevant departments in Texas found brain-eating insects in the tap water of the water supply system. Tap water in the United States belongs to direct drinking water, and many people are used to drinking tap water directly, which greatly increases the probability of infecting brain eaters.
The main way for brain eaters to infect humans is to enter the brain through the nasal cavity, and then in the brain? Settle down? Eventually lead to primary amebic meningoencephalitis. According to American data, most patients had contact with natural water before onset, among which swimmers and water athletes had the highest incidence.
In nature, the probability that humans are infected with brain-eating insects is not high. Statistics from relevant departments in the United States show that from 2009 to 20 18 and 10, 34 cases were found in the United States. However, in the past two years, the infection probability of Americans has increased. Now, brain-eating insects have been found in the water supply system of the United States and spread to the northern part of the United States, which means that all Americans will face the threat of brain-eating insects and the risk of infection will be much higher than before.
