I knew those sorts of amoebas were out there but thought the only risk
of catching them was if you inhaled water from ponds that contained
them. I had no idea they could also be found in treated water. Not
that I've ever used a neti pot but I do know people that have used
them and I assume they just used tap water to do so.
