Answer: Amoeba
Notes: A girl from Malappuram, Kerala, recently died from a Naegleria fowleri infection. This amoeba, found in soil and warm freshwater, causes Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM) if it reaches the brain through the nose. Known as the "brain-eating amoeba," Naegleria fowleri infections are rare but almost always fatal, destroying brain tissue once infection occurs.
