A mother raised a case on a tourist resort after her son died of a rare amoeba during his stay, the British Mail Online reported.
Fabrizio Stabili died of "amoebic brain disease" while at BSR Cable Park and Surf, a water park in Texas, which showed that the waters of the resort bore bacteria.
Stabili's mother demanded that she receive up to $ 1 million in compensation for her son's death, especially since he was diagnosed immediately before his death by the rare amyba, which proved that the waters of the resort contain the conditions for the growth of this type of amoeba.
The resort also said the site had developed a new filtration and purification system after the discovery of the source of pollution.
Mellonline reported that Stabili was diagnosed as "meningitis," but due to lack of response to treatment after 4 days, doctors began to look for another cause of the disease, until they discovered by the analysis of this type of amoeba that affect humans after Entering the body through the nostrils, which often occurs when diving or placing the head underwater.
The resort's doors were closed for a few days to investigate pollution. The Waco Maclean Health Department concluded that Fabrizio had probably been infected with amyba at the resort, pointing out that there had been a failure to treat the water at the resort and that the water had not been treated with enough chlorine.
The amoebic "brain amoeba" causes 98% of those who develop it, reaching the brain through the nose.
