Not to brag but I just tested negative for entamoeba hystolytica, cryptosporidium AND giardia

The dude's spine is known as Entamoeba histolytica

So glad that parasite is purged

The thing with these "raw water enthusiasts" is they become my problem when I see them as an infectious disease consult for one of these:
Salmonella
Shigella
E coli
Cryptosporidiasis
Giardia
Vibrio
Entamoeba
Norovirus
Why do they come to the hospital when sick?
Play stupid games = stupid prizes

Untreated water enthusiasts swear by natural springs, or “raw water.” Many of them are part of the so-called health freedom movement, which opposes vaccine mandates, pasteurized milk and other government public health interventions.
‘Raw Water’ Devotees Swear by Natural Springs, Despite the Risks
Untreated water enthusiasts swear by natural springs. Their movement has parallels with raw milk drinkers and vaccine skeptics.

What you are saying is your President is Entamoeba histolytica an Amoeba dysentery? Kind of fits the description Yes?

Diversity, geographical distribution, and prevalence of Entamoeba spp. in Brazil: a systematic review and meta-analysis [2021 🧪]
doi.org/10.1051/para...
Abstract The genus Entamoeba includes a variety of widely distributed species adapted to live in the digestive tracts of humans and a large variety of animals of different classes. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence, distribution, and molecular epidemiology of Entamoeba spp. in different classes of hosts in Brazil. Studies that analyzed hosts from several classes, including humans and domestic, wild, or captive animals, were considered. The pooled prevalence of Entamoeba spp. was calculated using the random-effects model. A total of 166 studies on humans and 16 on animals were included. The prevalence of Entamoeba spp. in the Brazilian population was 22% (95% CI: 21–24). The state with the highest prevalence was Paraiba with 72%, followed by Federal District with 53%, and Rondonia with 50%. In immunocompromized patients, the prevalence was 18%, and cancer (36%) was the most prevalent cause of immunosuppression. The prevalence of Entamoeba spp. in animal hosts was 12% (95% CI: 7–17). Captive wild animals and domestic farm animals showed the highest prevalence, with 16% and 15%, respectively. The species found more often were E. coli (86.5%), E. dispar (7.9%), and E. histolytica (3.1%). In conclusion, a high prevalence (22%) of Entamoeba spp. was found in the Brazilian population, with a prevalence of up to 50% mainly in the northern, northeastern, and central-western regions. The pathogenic species E. histolytica is distributed in most Brazilian regions, with significant prevalence percentages. Among animals, unidentified Entamoeba species were most prevalent in mammals.

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Entamoeba!

It starts with gastroenteritis and ends with a liver abscess. Sometimes.

Our HHS Secretary wants to “take a break” from infectious diseases. Guess who can’t take a break? The public.

2 weeks on inpatient ID consults I saw:
– Malaria
– Brucella
– TB
– Strongyloides
– Entamoeba
– Echinococcus

Neglecting public health doesn’t make diseases disappear—it delays the crisis

Traditional teaching is #Entamoeba dispar is not pathogenic. In this cluster of symptomatic MSM in NYC, E dispar was identified by PCR. None of the samples were positive for E histolytica

I am proud to have been a sandwich author on a paper about Entamoeba gingivialis, an amoeba associated with oral mucosa. These amazing pictures show the amoeba possibly feeding on an epithelial cell (more description in alt text). #science 🧪 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
Behavior patterns of Entamoeba gingivalis on the gingival epithelial monolayer. Clockwise from left: (A) E. gingivalis slides a pseudopodium under a gingival epithelial cell. The elevation left of the amoeba indicates the position of the host cell’s nucleus. (B) The amoeba is attached to a gingival epithelial cell at the host cell’s nucleus. It exhibits long cylindrical structures, termed digipodia, that made contact with the target cell. (C) The same amoeba as in panel B from a different perspective. (D) E. gingivalis moves from a gingival cell (right) onto the surface of the culture plate, forming several flat pseudopods (possibly in the search for another cell). Parallel to the formation of the pseudopods, the amoeba’s body has flattened, revealing a specific circular disk. (E) A digipodium is extending from E. gingivalis into the gingival epithelial cell. The pore in the host cell’s membrane shows clean-cut edges. The digipodia appears to be in the process of secreting material into the target cell or ingesting material from the target cell in a process termed trogocytosis. The elevation of the host cell close to the opening suggests that the digipodia extended into the nucleus of the cell as previously illustrated by us using light microscopy (Bao et al. 2020). (F) General view of the same amoeba as in panel E.

Hey, remember that "bone collector" carnivorous caterpillar that wears its prey's body parts to fool predators? Single-celled parasite Entamoeba histolytica does something similar. After it infects someone, it hides from the immune system by cloaking itself in bits of the host's dead, shredded cells
This parasite rips apart human cells and wears them as disguises
E. histolytica kills at least 50,000 people every year. Microbiologists have a battle plan.

What does it take to get dysentery?

Dysentery is typically contracted through consuming contaminated food or water with bacteria such as Shigella or parasites like Entamoeba histolytica.

Poor sanitation and hygiene are common contributing factors to the spread of dysentery!!
