COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Two weeks after Jaysen Carr spent the Fourth of
July swimming and riding on a boat on one of South Carolina’s most
popular lakes, he was dead from an amoeba that lives in the warm water
and entered his brain through his nose.
His parents had no clue the brain-eating amoeba, whose scientific name
is Naegleria fowleri, even existed in Lake Murray, just 15 miles (24 kilometers) west of Columbia.
They found out when a doctor, in tears, told them the diagnosis after
what seemed like a fairly regular headache and nausea took a serious turn.
Jaysen, 12, fought for a week before dying on July 18, making him one
of about 160 people known to have died from the amoeba in the U.S. in
the past 60 years.
