For example, the observation of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis due to brain-eating amoebae (i.e., Naegleria fowleri) is mostly unnoticed, especially in rural areas and disadvantaged communities, and is known to be associated with nasal irrigation for cleansing, ritual ablution, bathing, and swimming. Thus, the contamination of human waste as well as human wastewater into drinking water supplies highlights a major risk factor in contracting infectious agents such as brain-eating amoeba and possibly COVID-19, especially for developing countries. The use of simple tap water filters in households prior to ablution or nasal irrigation ( Figure 1E ,F) can be effective in eradicating microbial contaminants.	./cache/cord-315198-v4ay9kwg.txt	./txt/cord-315198-v4ay9kwg.txt
