And a swimmer in Texas died after contracting an infection caused by a brain eating amoeba Austin. Public health officials said the person developed an amoebic meningitis infection after swimming in Lake Lyndon B Johnson. Earlier this month, health officials warned people to be careful when swimming in natural bodies of water while swallowing water won't lead to amoebic meningitis.
