This isn’t the first case in the region — similar infections have occurred in Louisiana and North Carolina in recent years, often during hot weather when the amoeba is most active. Health officials are investigating the source while urging people to avoid disturbing sediment in shallow, warm freshwater areas and to keep their heads above water. The teen’s family is raising funds for medical expenses, and the community is rallying around them during this devastating loss.
