NEW VIDEO: The Most Overhyped Monster on Earth
🕑 Added 2022-05-03 14:02:00 +0000 UTCThe Brain Eating Amoeba A war has been going on for billions of years that breeds well armed monsters who struggle with other monsters for survival. Having no particular interest in us, most of them are relatively harmless, as our immune systems deal with their weapons handily. But there are exceptions. Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba that not only has developed a deadly taste for human brains but is also a match for our defenses and a guest in dramatic headlines. What happens when this monster enters your body?

One time nearly 30 years ago I was on a little summer road trip and happened across "Valley of Fire" State Park in NV northeast of Las Vegas. There's a lot of hot pools, rare species living in them, kinda a extremely micro-mini-Yellowstone kind of thing. Every so often, there was an interpretive sign along the scenic drive in the park. At one place, there was this interesting sign (3rd pic on this page https://www.jonadams.com/pages/exploring/ut-az_0797.htm), that warned me of Naegleria Fowleri and its pathway through the nose. I have never forgotten that name. Never once. It's funny how certain things imprint! Nice video, reminds me of that fun trip and the strange stuff I encountered out that way!!!

Wow!!! Such an amazing video! It's too scary, but it's very interesting :-) P.S. I gave your world map to my son and he was amazed!!

The animation was amazing in this video⦠felt like it was a little too visceral maybe? Like, I was genuinely freaked out by the close ups during the possible symptoms (specifically the seizures). Like, amazing video but maybe the super detailed animation style could be toned down in parts like that?
