Brain-Eating Amoeba Kills 14-year-old Star Athlete
Michael John Riley Jr. was killed by the fatal brain-eating amoeba. He was fourteen years old when he died, and days away from starting high school. The young boy qualified for the Junior Olympics for track. HE was also swimming with his cross-country team on August 13th. While he was swimming, he encountered Naegleria fowleri amoeba. Within days, he died from brain damage.
Why should the world care?
I think that this is important to be notified about this because it can happen to anybody. I know a lot of people that go swimming and they don't ever think about what could happen. If they could catch a deadly disease or anything. It's something that we really need to start talking about.
