Naegleria Fowleri Naegleria fowleri is found in collections of warm freshwater throughout the world. It most commonly harms young, previously healthy people who have gone swimming in freshwater. Some infections have also been tied to the use of tap water in Neti pots. Naegleria has three life stages: cysts, trophozoites and flagellated forms. Trophozoites can penetrate nasal tissues and enter the brain. The result is meningoencephalitis, called primary amebic meningoencephalitis, or PAM....

But as Warner Books rolled out a $600,000 promotional campaign, newspaper critics had a picnic ripping into Ripley. “Nineteenth-century characters who talk like members of a ’90s support group,” sneered USA Today. “Stunningly uneventful,” pronounced The New York Times. “Chewing, shopping and changing clothes do not a novel make,” said New York Newsday. Considering the odds against her, Ripley did her job far more effectively than the reviewers gave her credit for....
