致命吃腦變形蟲入侵 美德州8城市獲警告發布「災難公告」 | CTWANT | LINE TODAY

美國德州東南部的自來水出現汙染事件,有8座城市接獲警告,還有一座城市已發布災難公告(disaster declaration)。根據《CNN》與《WBTV》新聞網報導,德州環境品質委員會(Texas Commission onEnvironmental Quality,TCEQ)5針對布拉索斯港(Brazosport)水務局服務區的居民發出警告,由於自來水中出現時吃腦變形蟲「福氏內格里蟲」(Nae

德州確實在水源中發現「福氏內格里蟲」,但目前相關用水警示已更新。

1. 德州在9月27日針對布拉佐里亞(Brazoria)發布「災難聲明」,但目前德州環境品質委員會已取消7座城市的「禁止用水」建議,僅剩傑克遜湖區建議「煮沸後再使用」。

德州州長證實在11項水質測試中,有3項發現可導致罕見腦膜炎的「福氏內格里蟲」。Brazosport水務局於25日晚間,對8座城市民眾發布「禁止用水」警示,但26日已解除其中7座城市的警示,傑克遜湖區則建議「煮沸後再使用」。當局表示用水系統清潔大約需三天,在此期間,當地居民可免費獲得一箱水。

2. 福氏內格里蟲,俗稱食腦變形蟲(brain-eating amoeba)、福氏阿米巴蟲,儘管十分罕見,但致死率極高,通常經由鼻腔進入人體致病,但飲用遭病原體汙染的水不會被感染,也不會人傳人。根據美國CDC數據,1962年到2018年間,共有145人被感染,只有4人倖存。
