Can you get brain amoeba like this?

Could i get brain eating amoeba like this?

• well ive had a real dry, stuffy nose just recently and i washed my hands and not thinking i put my fingers in my nose right after just to get it wet so it would feel better. and it didnt go much farther than a little higher than the round part of my nose, and right after i realized what i had done i started compulsively blowing my nose to get anything out. i live in louisiana, btw and the water is supposed to be boiled if you put it in your nose... they say the amoeba enters through your sinuses so could it have entered in any way? please answer i have severe anxiety about this. my parish's water supply is the best tasting in the state, i think that may mean it's clean.... if that makes any difference. (st. charles parish) \ thanks lol i sound like a psycho

• Answer:

  The good news is that there is nothing to worry about. It is incredibly unlikely that an amoeba could enter a sinus in that fashion, and even if it did it would still have to munch bone to get to the brain. Fortunately no amoeba is capable of that, so you're safe.
