''The #foxes displayed neurologic signs, and examination of #brain and #lung tissue revealed lesions, with brain lesions ranging from moderate to severe #meningoencephalitis. Analysis of tissue tropism using RT-PCR methods showed a comparatively lower Ct value in the brain, confirmed by in situ hybridization targeting Influenza A RNA''

I get what you are saying, but this #parasite enters the #brain through the nose, by traveling through the #nerve that relays information about smells from the #nose to the brain.
People can't develop primary amebic #meningoencephalitis (PAM) by swallowing N. fowleri or by interacting with an already-infected person.
