Speaker 1 (00:00):
Anytime these words show up in the headline of a
news story, I am a sucker to go right in
for it. But also before I get there, does anybody
survive a brain eating amba?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Does anybody who gets one of those? Do they survive?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Or?
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Is that a death sentence?
Speaker 5 (00:22):
Like if you find it so early on? Yeah, sure,
like it's just just by its name alone, it does
sound like it would be so rare.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Like, so, here's the headline that I stumble on Texas
woman dies from brain eating amba after using tainted RV water.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Like to drink?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
No? No is a matter of power? You know what?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
You know what? I you know what I did learn?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Though?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So the the the woman was at an RV park, right,
and she she has an RV. But now, keep in mind,
you can get brain eating amoebas from just swimming in lakes, right,
lakes like man made lakes, lkes, the ocean, like, you
can get them everywhere.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Most of the time when you get them that way?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Do you know how you get brain eating amba most
of the time, Like if you're in a lake, or
if you're in like the ocean or the golf or
something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Water goes up your nose.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Now when it comes to like taking a shower, they said,
a lot of times you can ingest brain eating amoebas
and it does nothing, Like if you swallow it, it
does nothing. So if you swallow that lake water, you're good.
I mean, you may get a little nauseous or something.
Maybe you get some diarrhea then maybe a little bit,
(01:50):
which is better than I mean diarrheal day compared to
brain eating amba, you would take the same thing. Yeah, yes,
you had a choice between a month's worth of diarrhea
or brain aatygamba.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yes, pee your.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Butt, but you're not gonna get me orally you.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Get me nasally, yes, or but then but then you'll
hear stories of where it like it gets in through
a cut in somebody's foot. That was like the girl
and Georgia exactly. And I can tell you how that happens.
But let me get back to this woman right. So
she is, she's she's she's camping in an RV and
she's hooked up and everything's fine, a normal set up
(02:36):
at this camp.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Anyway, My god, damn sinuses are killing me. She did
a nasal.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Bath oh, like a nettie pot.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
She did a netty pot, and that's where you I
don't do those, but that's where you put the water
in your nose to clear it out.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Very common, very popular.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
You're supposed to use like you're not supposed to use
tap water. You're supposed to use distilled water.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Do people know that?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I thought it was pretty clear in the instructions.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
If you just opened the netty pot. I've never used one.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
If you just opened the netty pot, would you would
you know, like, you put water in here, you pour
it in your nose and then it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Can ekes that a little saline packet with it.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Okay, so maybe you would even think you could use
I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I'm sure some people think, oh, tap water's fine, but.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Absolutely, especially if you're putting something in I would think
like that.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
That's that's that's what makes it good for your nose.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I think you can boil it and then you can't
use it. So and the only reason I know that
is from reading this. You can boil tap water. Obviously
they say let it cool before. Well, no, because you
know some dummy is gonna.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Go o my no, Well, what happened to his voice,
I guess your nose does affect yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Absolutely, I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So anyway, so this woman, she uses her netty pot
and she.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Starts to starts to get sick.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
A woman's practice of nasal irrigation has led to her
death via brain eating amba.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
According to a recent case report.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Health officials described how she contracted a fatal infection of
Nagliria foulari through tainted tapwater source from a recreational vehicle.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So she was hooked up.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So they're trying to figure out was it something in
the lake, was it something in the RV?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Like I don't know what a brain eating amba looks like.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
So what does that set up like for an RV park?
You are connected to a water source that provides water
to like a sink inside and then maybe some sort
of hose set up on outside or.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I'm only going by what Like Jackie's parents rved for
a handful of years. I'm only going by like if
they pulled into like a like an r V park,
I can't think of the famous ones KOA. If they
pulled in like you get a slot and then there's
like a pole and on that pole is like.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You you start hooking crap up to the to the truck.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Generator, cable internet like a like an ether and water
in that water I think like services your toilet and
you're you're you're.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Tap like in the in the if you have a
sink in there.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Like Jackie's parents, they didn't have a shower, like they
just had to go to the like.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
A like a it was like a communal one. Wasn't
there a truck stope and.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Like to shower, but it would run like all of yours,
so you could cook and stuff like that. So I'm
assuming that that's clean water. I don't know, but I'm
assuming it is. Like if you were gonna make coffee.
I don't think that you have to use filtered water.
You probably just turn on your sink in a way
you go. I would think that when you were hooked
up to the to the to the pipe, that that
(06:10):
water's filtered to come into your house.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Or your RV.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
But that a safe assumption. I don't just tell you
you need to use filter.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I mean they might, I'm not an enthusiast. Maybe you're
maybe you just use that water to piss.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
It so you can't in an RV. You cannot use
the bathrooms on the road.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Oh, I think you can't while you're driving. You just
can't flush.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Oh lovely having to Diane when we went whitewater rafting,
Diane took a dump.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And I got that parasite.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
The no, but that I'm not lying, So you were
allowed to flush the toilet?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, because remember we we we dumped in somebody's yard.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
It was a rural area.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
The because we couldn't find a place to hook up
and we couldn't return in the truck to the to
the RV place without dumping the waist.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And we literally pulled off to a side road and
in the yard.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And all I kept saying is some kid's gonna go
outside and go mommy, Diane from Ellie in the morning,
is outside?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
So it remained in the bowl, yes, oh Diane, Or
is I gonna do?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You couldn't And Diane, that's why Diane says, oh, I
got a I got a Parris I to go person.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
See, well, that Paris I. You know what that Paris
I did.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It made you make a big duty.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
God.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
I was just like, oh my God, of all people
to be with when this happens, it had to be you, because.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
We were driving down the road coming back from West
Virginia white Water Rafting, and Diane went and locked herself
in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I have a parsture good thirty five forty minute.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Picture of us sitting on one of those rocking chairs
or at the cracker barrel, right, you could, I look
like death warmed over.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I have a picture of me inside the RV with
everybody else, and we look like we're smelling death warmed over.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Miserable. Oh my god. And I was just like, oh God,
Monday show is going to be off.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
And it was.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I was right on brand. It was horrible, horrible.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Even people on the trip that were like kind were like,
oh my.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
God, oh come on Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
So as to to not spark mass hysteria with this,
these setups and these parks and the water sources, I'm
assuming they tested where this woman was staying.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
They don't know where. They don't know where the source was.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Because part of the problem is this goes back to
what Diana was saying that when you use one of
these nettypots or these nasal irrigation systems, it does say
in here you are told to use filtered water or
boil it. And then because I guess, I don't know
if a brain eating amoba could get into a regular
water system. My guess is yes, because they did say
if you, if you ingest it, like if you were
(09:21):
to drink water that has a brain eating amba in it,
you're fine, Like you would you would have no idea
I could have. I could, I could have swallowed a
million brain eating ambas.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
But when it goes through the nose and through the passages,
it gets to the brain.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
But they're sure it was her use of the nasal
irrigation like she didn't also go swimming um.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
The woman developed neurological symptoms days after using the nasal
irrigation device and died a week later. These infections, while rare,
can be prevented through practical safety measures measures such as
only using sterilized water for nasal irrigation. E. N Fowli
is a shape shifting amoba that sounds cool, doesn't. It
(10:07):
is a shape shifting amoba that lives in soil and
warm fresh water. It typically feeds on bacteria and isn't
dangerous to humans when it's simply ingested, but when the
amiba enters our body through the nose, it can end
up in the brain. Once there, the amoeba will literally
feast on our brain cells and trigger massive inflammation, causing
(10:31):
a severe brain infection known as primary amobic long word
or pam wow. Now Tuesday Show, Diane was pad passive aggressive?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Diane, all right, I gave you Monday.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Let it go.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
How many years ago was that there?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Official?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Oh my god, can we go whitewater? I mean it
was before any of us had kids.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Art in ninety nine we may have got two. I
was going to say two thousand and one. Yeah, And
to this day I can't get.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
That smell out of my head.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Officials tested both the water from the RV's portable water
tank and the nearby municipal water system the RV may
have been connected to during the trip. Neither source tested
positive for the amoeba, but officials are only able to
sample the water twenty three days after the woman's exposure,
so the environmental conditions may have simply changed by that.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Oh so there's no conclusive way of knowing.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So are you?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Are you?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
We need to find an enthusiast who knows about the
water system setups.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
At at an RV part Christian, will you find me
an RV person?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Thank you, just because that will answer some questions on
like how trusting you can be of these sources.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I also want to know if I can survive a
brain eating amba.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
There have been a handful of people over the years
who have survived having that specific type.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You want to get my attention, You want to clickbait,
give me brain eating or flesh eating and I will
click on it.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Line four, Hi, Yellie had the morning warning Elliott.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
Hey, who's this Sean from Annapolis?
Speaker 4 (12:16):
How you doing there?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Dude?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
I'm doing okay? So I don't know too much about
the water system. But what I do know, I was
down at Lake Maultree down in South Carolina over the
Memorial Day weekend. And yes, that water was on a
well and we did not use that water for coffee purposes,
of boiling purposes. We use a bottled water for our coffee.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Is that Is that out of fear or is that
just like you don't know what you're getting?
Speaker 7 (12:44):
Yeah, both out of fitar and you don't know what
you're getting. But we did shower. We did shower from
the connection running from the hose to the RV. We
did shower in that water, but like you know, when
you're boiling and coffee and eat when you just don't
want to, you know, mess with that water.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, right, So but do they tell you that, Like,
what would if you took an r V, Like where
am I going camping?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I'm going I'm going to Lake Anna.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Would they tell you for ingestable like anything you're going
to ingest or cook with, definitely use filtered water.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
So I'm not sure if you remember the story about
a year ago Lake annahadle of a bacteria in the
lake down there, so you definitely wouldn't want to mess
with nothing down there.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Oh yeah, remember a lot of kids got.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh that's right, you're right, I do remember that now.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
So so basically the whole point of the story is
team I mean class, don't take your chances.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Right, So we'll always use filtered water. There we go, right,
all right, very good, very good? Thank you?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Now will some hookups specifically say this is potable water?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Remind me what potable is?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Like, yeah, I don't know, but I mean, let's and
everybody says that about airplanes, right, Like the waters post.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
They're just nontable.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
It was nonotable, right, But people brush their teeth in
there all the time, and they're using that water.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I've had one routed there to take pills.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
It's just got fed a bunch of articles about how
don't even wash your hands with that water. I don't
you should use it. I don't know, but I'm sorry
I telling you should you should use something. Don't use
the water in an airplane bathroom.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I can tell you this right now. I have never
once and I will dump on every plane I'm on.
I have never once washed my hands on an airplane.
You are in less unless can I cavea on it?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Unless unless I have a breakthrough.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
If this was the SATs Elliott is to airplanes as
Diana's t RV's.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Eighteen line seven. Hi Elliot in the morning, sixteen.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Hundred ellod morning.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, they went back, Yes, Hi? Who is this?
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Nick?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
And Richmond?
Speaker 7 (15:02):
How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Good?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Nick?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
All right?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
So we go r ving a bunch and you'll see,
like where the water hookup is.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Everybody uses these blue filters because they're all scared of
the water. But I used it for about a year,
and I quit using it because I mean there's houses
across the street using the same water.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
So when you say there is all these blue filters,
like people bring them with them and it connects between
the hose, I don't know what the hookup is the
hose in the r V and kind of builds a
filter into it.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, you can take them. They're good for about a year.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Get them off the Amazon, I gotcha. But you stop
using them.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, you're right because like by everybody else is using
the water, although their house may have a filtration system.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Right, and we're still in the county.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
So I mean I drink it, I brush my teeth
with it, I.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Cook And you ain't ever gotten a brain amba, No,
just uh no, not yet.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Do you ever get a case of the Diane runs
in one of those?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yeah, go to the bath house for that.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Not Diane. Diane did it right. Well, we were on
I don't even remember. Were we on sixty six when.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
You were going some interstate miserable.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Man, that's for piss. I remember.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Can you imagine, oh she was outer butt?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Could you imagine how bad it had to be for
Diane to get up and walk to the bathroom and
knee the door while she's in there.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Deadly deathly emergence emergency. Yeah, you had no choice. It
was either that of crap your pants and I wasn't
gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And I bet you wish you would have kind that
family whose yard we stopped him, wish you would have.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Hi Elliet in the morning. Hello, Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Hey John for merchmand Hey John?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Uh So, when the when the hookups, you use your
own hose for the you know, for the water hookup
that you're hooking up to their thicket or whatever their faucet.
So I've seen some people use the same hose for that,
and then they'll go to flush out their tank after
the done camping with that same hose.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
It's not necessarily directed to the or connected to the sewer,
but I mean through the piping, it's all connected. I
just make sure I, you know, rinse out, sanitize all hoses,
you know, after after camping and doing that. But uh yeah,
if it's sitting around with mold or who knows what's
in your hose, you know, running from the connection.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Hey, what is when when they when they refer to
like RVs and camping, what is what is quote?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Blackwater?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Uh, blackwater is gonna be coming from your sewer tank.
So that's what you're emptying afterwards.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I got you, that's what Diane. I got you. I
got you.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
So but like like like, for example, if you're gonna shower,
if you have an r V that has a shower
in it, is that just is that just coming through
the faucet the spict.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Yeah, same thing. So we'll shower with it. We just
I mean, we won't drink with the water. If we cook,
it's being boiled. But we won't drink out of the
faucet or to think or anything. We'll just use the
fur showers or flushing the toilet.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
What about coffee?
Speaker 8 (18:17):
I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh okay, yeah, aren't you perfect?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
All right, dude, I appreciate it. Thank you, my friend,
thank you.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I'm also getting word from the Mapleton class of twenty
twenty six that black water is their side. They love
the Doobie Brothers.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Hi, Elliott the morning, Elliott. I'm banging my head against
the wall over here. You guys were killing me.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Why what did I do.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Oh my gosh, the stupidity coming out of y'all's mouth
is killing me. Okay, So there's two things day and
number One, you can flush that toilet when you're in motion,
just not all of it's gonna go down unless you
have the water system turned on. Bingo bango. Secondly, if
the other person not clean out his or her RV
pipe systems once a year sanitize it with bleach, then
(19:06):
she's so screwed. Stuff can grow in there and then
when you go to use the next season, boom, you're done.
And who would put that's that's Darwinism. Who would put
in Nettie pot in their nose from water from their RV?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Really?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I bet a lot. I'm being serious.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I bet a lot of people do, because like Diane said,
you're Darwin, Like I'm on your team, Like a lot
of people said, they'll be it. Or Diane said, if
you're putting that packet of whatever in there, I would think.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
That that is like what what cleans it?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Like I don't know what the right word is, sterilizes
it or whatever, but like that makes the water fine
to put in your nose.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Listen, I've never used the Nettie pot.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
And in my defense, I've never been in a recreational vehicle.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But I would think I would think that that's what
that packet does, is make it so you could put
it in your in your nose.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I don't know that I would know that you have
to use sterilized water.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
God bless you, Elliott, Love you guys, all right, love you.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Too, Thank you, sir. God bless you as well. And
I will defend Diane. I think she did try to
flush it.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Again. This was twenty some years ago.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
I don't remember exactly, but I do remember having to
pull over.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yes, Diane, we emptied it in literally a person's front yard.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
And it haunts Elliott.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
If you could have, I mean the bathroom, Diane would
know better than Maiden, well all of us.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I don't think anybody went in there after Diane. The no.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, But like you think an airplane bathroom is small,
this thing was idy and bitting.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Yeah, it was definitely smaller than a plane bathroom. What
are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Didn't you say you wedged a foot against the door,
because I was definitely holding it.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
No, no, holding it, whether it was my knee or
with my arm, I was definitely making sure no one
was coming in there, and.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
I get the sense that the rest of you were gagging.
But were you also like laughing hysterically. Yeah? Were you
aware it's only been maybe a year since you'd been on.
Were you aware of Diane's lack of fondness for bathroom humor?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, I think I already knew.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I'm sure Scott was right up there with you laughing.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Scott was the one that kept wanting me to go
ring the people's doorbell, tell him Diane from Ellie in
the Morning's here
Anytime these words show up in the headline of a
news story, I am a sucker to go right in
for it. But also before I get there, does anybody
survive a brain eating amba?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Does anybody who gets one of those? Do they survive?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Or?
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Is that a death sentence?
Speaker 5 (00:22):
Like if you find it so early on? Yeah, sure,
like it's just just by its name alone, it does
sound like it would be so rare.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Like, so, here's the headline that I stumble on Texas
woman dies from brain eating amba after using tainted RV water.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Like to drink?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
No? No is a matter of power? You know what?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
You know what? I you know what I did learn?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Though?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So the the the woman was at an RV park, right,
and she she has an RV. But now, keep in mind,
you can get brain eating amoebas from just swimming in lakes, right,
lakes like man made lakes, lkes, the ocean, like, you
can get them everywhere.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Most of the time when you get them that way?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Do you know how you get brain eating amba most
of the time, Like if you're in a lake, or
if you're in like the ocean or the golf or
something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Water goes up your nose.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Now when it comes to like taking a shower, they said,
a lot of times you can ingest brain eating amoebas
and it does nothing, Like if you swallow it, it
does nothing. So if you swallow that lake water, you're good.
I mean, you may get a little nauseous or something.
Maybe you get some diarrhea then maybe a little bit,
(01:50):
which is better than I mean diarrheal day compared to
brain eating amba, you would take the same thing. Yeah, yes,
you had a choice between a month's worth of diarrhea
or brain aatygamba.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yes, pee your.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Butt, but you're not gonna get me orally you.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Get me nasally, yes, or but then but then you'll
hear stories of where it like it gets in through
a cut in somebody's foot. That was like the girl
and Georgia exactly. And I can tell you how that happens.
But let me get back to this woman right. So
she is, she's she's she's camping in an RV and
she's hooked up and everything's fine, a normal set up
(02:36):
at this camp.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Anyway, My god, damn sinuses are killing me. She did
a nasal.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Bath oh, like a nettie pot.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
She did a netty pot, and that's where you I
don't do those, but that's where you put the water
in your nose to clear it out.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Very common, very popular.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
You're supposed to use like you're not supposed to use
tap water. You're supposed to use distilled water.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Do people know that?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I thought it was pretty clear in the instructions.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
If you just opened the netty pot. I've never used one.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
If you just opened the netty pot, would you would
you know, like, you put water in here, you pour
it in your nose and then it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Can ekes that a little saline packet with it.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Okay, so maybe you would even think you could use
I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I'm sure some people think, oh, tap water's fine, but.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Absolutely, especially if you're putting something in I would think
like that.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
That's that's that's what makes it good for your nose.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I think you can boil it and then you can't
use it. So and the only reason I know that
is from reading this. You can boil tap water. Obviously
they say let it cool before. Well, no, because you
know some dummy is gonna.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Go o my no, Well, what happened to his voice,
I guess your nose does affect yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Absolutely, I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So anyway, so this woman, she uses her netty pot
and she.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Starts to starts to get sick.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
A woman's practice of nasal irrigation has led to her
death via brain eating amba.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
According to a recent case report.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Health officials described how she contracted a fatal infection of
Nagliria foulari through tainted tapwater source from a recreational vehicle.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So she was hooked up.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So they're trying to figure out was it something in
the lake, was it something in the RV?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Like I don't know what a brain eating amba looks like.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
So what does that set up like for an RV park?
You are connected to a water source that provides water
to like a sink inside and then maybe some sort
of hose set up on outside or.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I'm only going by what Like Jackie's parents rved for
a handful of years. I'm only going by like if
they pulled into like a like an r V park,
I can't think of the famous ones KOA. If they
pulled in like you get a slot and then there's
like a pole and on that pole is like.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You you start hooking crap up to the to the truck.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Generator, cable internet like a like an ether and water
in that water I think like services your toilet and
you're you're you're.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Tap like in the in the if you have a
sink in there.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Like Jackie's parents, they didn't have a shower, like they
just had to go to the like.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
A like a it was like a communal one. Wasn't
there a truck stope and.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Like to shower, but it would run like all of yours,
so you could cook and stuff like that. So I'm
assuming that that's clean water. I don't know, but I'm
assuming it is. Like if you were gonna make coffee.
I don't think that you have to use filtered water.
You probably just turn on your sink in a way
you go. I would think that when you were hooked
up to the to the to the pipe, that that
(06:10):
water's filtered to come into your house.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Or your RV.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
But that a safe assumption. I don't just tell you
you need to use filter.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I mean they might, I'm not an enthusiast. Maybe you're
maybe you just use that water to piss.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
It so you can't in an RV. You cannot use
the bathrooms on the road.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Oh, I think you can't while you're driving. You just
can't flush.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Oh lovely having to Diane when we went whitewater rafting,
Diane took a dump.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And I got that parasite.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
The no, but that I'm not lying, So you were
allowed to flush the toilet?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, because remember we we we dumped in somebody's yard.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
It was a rural area.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
The because we couldn't find a place to hook up
and we couldn't return in the truck to the to
the RV place without dumping the waist.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And we literally pulled off to a side road and
in the yard.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And all I kept saying is some kid's gonna go
outside and go mommy, Diane from Ellie in the morning,
is outside?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
So it remained in the bowl, yes, oh Diane, Or
is I gonna do?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You couldn't And Diane, that's why Diane says, oh, I
got a I got a Parris I to go person.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
See, well, that Paris I. You know what that Paris
I did.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It made you make a big duty.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
God.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
I was just like, oh my God, of all people
to be with when this happens, it had to be you, because.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
We were driving down the road coming back from West
Virginia white Water Rafting, and Diane went and locked herself
in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I have a parsture good thirty five forty minute.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Picture of us sitting on one of those rocking chairs
or at the cracker barrel, right, you could, I look
like death warmed over.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I have a picture of me inside the RV with
everybody else, and we look like we're smelling death warmed over.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Miserable. Oh my god. And I was just like, oh God,
Monday show is going to be off.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
And it was.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I was right on brand. It was horrible, horrible.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Even people on the trip that were like kind were like,
oh my.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
God, oh come on Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
So as to to not spark mass hysteria with this,
these setups and these parks and the water sources, I'm
assuming they tested where this woman was staying.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
They don't know where. They don't know where the source was.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Because part of the problem is this goes back to
what Diana was saying that when you use one of
these nettypots or these nasal irrigation systems, it does say
in here you are told to use filtered water or
boil it. And then because I guess, I don't know
if a brain eating amoba could get into a regular
water system. My guess is yes, because they did say
if you, if you ingest it, like if you were
(09:21):
to drink water that has a brain eating amba in it,
you're fine, Like you would you would have no idea
I could have. I could, I could have swallowed a
million brain eating ambas.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
But when it goes through the nose and through the passages,
it gets to the brain.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
But they're sure it was her use of the nasal
irrigation like she didn't also go swimming um.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
The woman developed neurological symptoms days after using the nasal
irrigation device and died a week later. These infections, while rare,
can be prevented through practical safety measures measures such as
only using sterilized water for nasal irrigation. E. N Fowli
is a shape shifting amoba that sounds cool, doesn't. It
(10:07):
is a shape shifting amoba that lives in soil and
warm fresh water. It typically feeds on bacteria and isn't
dangerous to humans when it's simply ingested, but when the
amiba enters our body through the nose, it can end
up in the brain. Once there, the amoeba will literally
feast on our brain cells and trigger massive inflammation, causing
(10:31):
a severe brain infection known as primary amobic long word
or pam wow. Now Tuesday Show, Diane was pad passive aggressive?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Diane, all right, I gave you Monday.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Let it go.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
How many years ago was that there?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Official?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Oh my god, can we go whitewater? I mean it
was before any of us had kids.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Art in ninety nine we may have got two. I
was going to say two thousand and one. Yeah, And
to this day I can't get.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
That smell out of my head.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Officials tested both the water from the RV's portable water
tank and the nearby municipal water system the RV may
have been connected to during the trip. Neither source tested
positive for the amoeba, but officials are only able to
sample the water twenty three days after the woman's exposure,
so the environmental conditions may have simply changed by that.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Oh so there's no conclusive way of knowing.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So are you?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Are you?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
We need to find an enthusiast who knows about the
water system setups.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
At at an RV part Christian, will you find me
an RV person?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Thank you, just because that will answer some questions on
like how trusting you can be of these sources.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I also want to know if I can survive a
brain eating amba.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
There have been a handful of people over the years
who have survived having that specific type.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You want to get my attention, You want to clickbait,
give me brain eating or flesh eating and I will
click on it.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Line four, Hi, Yellie had the morning warning Elliott.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
Hey, who's this Sean from Annapolis?
Speaker 4 (12:16):
How you doing there?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Dude?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
I'm doing okay? So I don't know too much about
the water system. But what I do know, I was
down at Lake Maultree down in South Carolina over the
Memorial Day weekend. And yes, that water was on a
well and we did not use that water for coffee purposes,
of boiling purposes. We use a bottled water for our coffee.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Is that Is that out of fear or is that
just like you don't know what you're getting?
Speaker 7 (12:44):
Yeah, both out of fitar and you don't know what
you're getting. But we did shower. We did shower from
the connection running from the hose to the RV. We
did shower in that water, but like you know, when
you're boiling and coffee and eat when you just don't
want to, you know, mess with that water.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, right, So but do they tell you that, Like,
what would if you took an r V, Like where
am I going camping?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I'm going I'm going to Lake Anna.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Would they tell you for ingestable like anything you're going
to ingest or cook with, definitely use filtered water.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
So I'm not sure if you remember the story about
a year ago Lake annahadle of a bacteria in the
lake down there, so you definitely wouldn't want to mess
with nothing down there.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Oh yeah, remember a lot of kids got.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh that's right, you're right, I do remember that now.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
So so basically the whole point of the story is
team I mean class, don't take your chances.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Right, So we'll always use filtered water. There we go, right,
all right, very good, very good? Thank you?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Now will some hookups specifically say this is potable water?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Remind me what potable is?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Like, yeah, I don't know, but I mean, let's and
everybody says that about airplanes, right, Like the waters post.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
They're just nontable.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
It was nonotable, right, But people brush their teeth in
there all the time, and they're using that water.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I've had one routed there to take pills.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
It's just got fed a bunch of articles about how
don't even wash your hands with that water. I don't
you should use it. I don't know, but I'm sorry
I telling you should you should use something. Don't use
the water in an airplane bathroom.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I can tell you this right now. I have never
once and I will dump on every plane I'm on.
I have never once washed my hands on an airplane.
You are in less unless can I cavea on it?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Unless unless I have a breakthrough.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
If this was the SATs Elliott is to airplanes as
Diana's t RV's.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Eighteen line seven. Hi Elliot in the morning, sixteen.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Hundred ellod morning.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, they went back, Yes, Hi? Who is this?
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Nick?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
And Richmond?
Speaker 7 (15:02):
How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Good?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Nick?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
All right?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
So we go r ving a bunch and you'll see,
like where the water hookup is.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Everybody uses these blue filters because they're all scared of
the water. But I used it for about a year,
and I quit using it because I mean there's houses
across the street using the same water.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
So when you say there is all these blue filters,
like people bring them with them and it connects between
the hose, I don't know what the hookup is the
hose in the r V and kind of builds a
filter into it.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, you can take them. They're good for about a year.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Get them off the Amazon, I gotcha. But you stop
using them.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, you're right because like by everybody else is using
the water, although their house may have a filtration system.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Right, and we're still in the county.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
So I mean I drink it, I brush my teeth
with it, I.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Cook And you ain't ever gotten a brain amba, No,
just uh no, not yet.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Do you ever get a case of the Diane runs
in one of those?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yeah, go to the bath house for that.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Not Diane. Diane did it right. Well, we were on
I don't even remember. Were we on sixty six when.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
You were going some interstate miserable.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Man, that's for piss. I remember.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Can you imagine, oh she was outer butt?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Could you imagine how bad it had to be for
Diane to get up and walk to the bathroom and
knee the door while she's in there.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Deadly deathly emergence emergency. Yeah, you had no choice. It
was either that of crap your pants and I wasn't
gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And I bet you wish you would have kind that
family whose yard we stopped him, wish you would have.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Hi Elliet in the morning. Hello, Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Hey John for merchmand Hey John?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Uh So, when the when the hookups, you use your
own hose for the you know, for the water hookup
that you're hooking up to their thicket or whatever their faucet.
So I've seen some people use the same hose for that,
and then they'll go to flush out their tank after
the done camping with that same hose.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
It's not necessarily directed to the or connected to the sewer,
but I mean through the piping, it's all connected. I
just make sure I, you know, rinse out, sanitize all hoses,
you know, after after camping and doing that. But uh yeah,
if it's sitting around with mold or who knows what's
in your hose, you know, running from the connection.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Hey, what is when when they when they refer to
like RVs and camping, what is what is quote?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Blackwater?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Uh, blackwater is gonna be coming from your sewer tank.
So that's what you're emptying afterwards.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I got you, that's what Diane. I got you. I
got you.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
So but like like like, for example, if you're gonna shower,
if you have an r V that has a shower
in it, is that just is that just coming through
the faucet the spict.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Yeah, same thing. So we'll shower with it. We just
I mean, we won't drink with the water. If we cook,
it's being boiled. But we won't drink out of the
faucet or to think or anything. We'll just use the
fur showers or flushing the toilet.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
What about coffee?
Speaker 8 (18:17):
I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh okay, yeah, aren't you perfect?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
All right, dude, I appreciate it. Thank you, my friend,
thank you.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I'm also getting word from the Mapleton class of twenty
twenty six that black water is their side. They love
the Doobie Brothers.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Hi, Elliott the morning, Elliott. I'm banging my head against
the wall over here. You guys were killing me.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Why what did I do.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Oh my gosh, the stupidity coming out of y'all's mouth
is killing me. Okay, So there's two things day and
number One, you can flush that toilet when you're in motion,
just not all of it's gonna go down unless you
have the water system turned on. Bingo bango. Secondly, if
the other person not clean out his or her RV
pipe systems once a year sanitize it with bleach, then
(19:06):
she's so screwed. Stuff can grow in there and then
when you go to use the next season, boom, you're done.
And who would put that's that's Darwinism. Who would put
in Nettie pot in their nose from water from their RV?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Really?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I bet a lot. I'm being serious.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I bet a lot of people do, because like Diane said,
you're Darwin, Like I'm on your team, Like a lot
of people said, they'll be it. Or Diane said, if
you're putting that packet of whatever in there, I would think.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
That that is like what what cleans it?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Like I don't know what the right word is, sterilizes
it or whatever, but like that makes the water fine
to put in your nose.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Listen, I've never used the Nettie pot.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
And in my defense, I've never been in a recreational vehicle.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But I would think I would think that that's what
that packet does, is make it so you could put
it in your in your nose.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I don't know that I would know that you have
to use sterilized water.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
God bless you, Elliott, Love you guys, all right, love you.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Too, Thank you, sir. God bless you as well. And
I will defend Diane. I think she did try to
flush it.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Again. This was twenty some years ago.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
I don't remember exactly, but I do remember having to
pull over.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yes, Diane, we emptied it in literally a person's front yard.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
And it haunts Elliott.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
If you could have, I mean the bathroom, Diane would
know better than Maiden, well all of us.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I don't think anybody went in there after Diane. The no.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, But like you think an airplane bathroom is small,
this thing was idy and bitting.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Yeah, it was definitely smaller than a plane bathroom. What
are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Didn't you say you wedged a foot against the door,
because I was definitely holding it.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
No, no, holding it, whether it was my knee or
