> PHOENIX – A 14-year-old Lake Havasu boy has become the sixth victim to die nationwide this year of a microscopic organism that attacks the body through the nasal cavity, quickly eating its way to the brain.

Apparently, amoebas do too. Maybe they’re t-virus amoebas. Either way, lousy way to go out. Note to self, avoid Lake Havasu.
