\n A patient in Florida has contracted a rare, brain-eating amoeba, according to health officials.<\/p>\n

The Florida Department of Health said Friday that a case of the often-fatal amoeba called Naegleria fowleri was detected in Hillsborough County.<\/p>\n

The parasite is found naturally in freshwater and can be life-threatening when it enters the body through the nose, causing a condition known as primary amebic meningoencephalitis that destroys brain tissue, health officials said.<\/p>\n

The infection is more likely to occur in July, August and September when the water is warmer, the agency said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNaegleria fowleri is found in many warm freshwater lakes, ponds and rivers in the United States, but is more common in southern states,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe low number of infections makes it difficult to know why a few people have been infected compared to the millions of other people that used the same or similar waters across the US.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 1962, there have been only 37 confirmed cases of the amoeba in the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s health officials encouraged people to hold their nose shut or use nose clips during water activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdverse health effects on humans can be prevented by avoiding nasal contact with the waters, since the amoeba enters through nasal passages,\u201d the agency said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
