@drsermedmezher: “My Nose Needs the Green River” #how Sinus rinses are a helpful way to clear out the nasal passages, removing mucus, allergens, and other irritants that can cause congestion or sinus discomfort. Using a saline solution, a sinus rinse gently flushes the nasal canals, improving airflow and reducing sinus pressure. However, it’s crucial not to use tap water for sinus rinsing, as it may contain bacteria or, in rare cases, harmful organisms like Naegleria fowleri, also known as the "brain-eating amoeba." If Naegleria fowleri enters the nasal passages, it can travel to the brain, leading to a severe and often fatal infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). To avoid this risk, always use sterile or distilled water, or boil tap water and let it cool before using it in a sinus rinse. This simple step ensures safe and effective sinus cleansing, helping you breathe easier without the risk of contamination. #nose #sinusrelief
