The community of Flint, across the St. Claire river from us, has an ongoing problem with their water and a lot of people have died from drinking what comes out of the tap!
Now it seems like they're not alone!
Certain communities in Texas were warned over the weekend not to use tap water for anything other than flushing toilets after a rare brain-eating amoeba was found in the public water supply.
The microbe, naegleria fowleri, is found in freshwater and soil, and if it gets up the nose can cause a potentially fatal brain illness.
The advisory was issued after a six-year-old boy died of the illness caused by the microbe that ate his brain!!!!!!!!!!
Late Saturday the notice was lifted, but a water boiling notice remains in place for the city of Lake Jackson where officials are decontaminating the local water supply.
