Article about N. Fowleri
Just wrote a pretty in depth paper about this parasite. Read a probably 75% of the literature that is out there on it. Looks like I'm going to be increasingly aggravated with the mass media the more I learn.
it says that it's spreading because of global warming. it is more likely that it's spreading because of the sterilization of much of the waterways. N.Fowleri loves nothing more than a lack of competition. The article makes it sound like one is safer if swimming in pools, the opposite is true. ugh, wish they would read the literature before writing articles

persephone:
Science reporting is ridiculous these days, they only read press releases or the title of an article and just make up whatever they want that will get people to read it.

Like I said, you should write to them and give them the facts.
