Kerala's Silent Waters: Rising PAM Cases & Climate Impact

Kerala, India is facing a health issue caused by a dangerous amoeba called Naegleria fowleri, which enters the brain through the nose.

This amoeba lives in warm freshwater.

The infection is called primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).

There has been a rise in cases recently, but survival rates are improving thanks to better medical care.

The challenge is that many people rely on the water where the amoeba lives, and climate change is making things worse.

Health officials are working to inform people to help protect themselves.
