Natural selection

 

[Mr. Negative]

yeah same thing happens is you use a neti pot with straight tap water. Gotta boil it to sterilize it first.

Its like russian roulette with faucet water germs and bugs getting past your blood brain barrier

I learned that only after doing it 3 times

She did nasal irrigation, not contact cleaning. And it wasn't just "tap water"

The woman, an otherwise healthy 71-year-old, developed "severe neurologic symptoms," including fever, headache and an altered mental status, four days after she filled a nasal irrigation device with tap water from her RV's water system at a Texas campsite, the CDC report said.

The potable water tank, the investigation found, was filled before the woman bought the RV three months ago and could have contained contaminated water. The investigation also concluded that the municipal water system, which was connected to the potable water system and bypassed the tank, could have caused the contamination.

Yeah it was at an RV park. Probably groundwater/tank
