Neti pots linked to brain-eating amoeba deaths

I use one of these occasionally. Make sure you use distilled water and not tap water.

"Louisiana's state health department has issued a warning about the dangers of improperly using nasal-irrigation devices called neti pots, responding to two recent deaths in the state that are thought to have resulted from "brain-eating amoebas" entering people's brains through their sinuses while they were using the devices."

From what I understand, we really don't have those things in our water supply here, it's too cold a climate. You could get a bacterial/fungal infection, though.

I use one and the instructions clearly say to only use bottled or purified water. Somebody didn't read the directions.
