Residents of a city in Texas have been warned to be careful with tap water, after a deadly brain-eating microbe was found in the water supply.
Lake Jackson was one of eight communities in Texas that were told not to use tap water on Friday after tests confirmed the presence of Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba that can cause a brain infection.
Authorities launched the probe after the death of a six-year-old boy earlier this month.
Warnings were lifted for seven of the communities on Saturday but remain in place for Lake Jackson, a city of nearly 27,000 people near the coast, south-west of Houston.
City authorities said in a statement that people must boil tap water before drinking it. Residents were also told including to not to go up their noses while taking a shower or bath.
Children, people with weakened immune systems and the elderly are "particularly vulnerable," they added.Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.Comment

though some suggest that water was the norm.
