Health officials in Louisiana have warned residents about rare Acanthamoeba infections linked to certain uses of tap water, after 10 cases in the state since 2024. Eight were eye infections, seven of them in contact lens wearers, and five people suffered permanent vision loss. Two serious cases occurred this year, including one fatal brain infection, in patients who had used tap water in nasal irrigation devices. Officials advise using distilled, sterile or previously boiled and cooled water for nasal rinsing, never using tap water for contact lenses, and note that drinking tap water is not considered a risk.
