Singer Natalie Cole Released from Hospital

The singer Natalie Cole has been released from the hospital this week and was able to go home. She is currently suffering from hepatitis C but has been receiving kidney dialysis that isn’t related to the hepatitis. She was hospitalized due to problems she was having with the medicine she was taking and having a busy schedule to promote her new album, called “Still Unforgettable.”

In July, she announced that she had hepatitis C and it was found during a routine examination. The disease is likely caused by her past drug use. Hepatitis C is a liver disease that is spread by contact with infected blood.

Brain-Eating Amoeba Causes Deaths

It is reported that a brain-eating amoeba has been causing deaths and health scares. The amoeba gets into the body through the nasal cavity and destroys tissue as it moves toward the brain. You can get it by swimming in lakes, hot springs, and swimming pools. It lives in the bottom of the waters and lives off of algae and bacteria. People can get infected when they wade through the water and stir up the bottom of the water. It has infected and killed 23 people between 1995 and 2004. There have been several hundred cases worldwide since its discovery in 1960.

People that are infected complain about a stiff neck, headaches, and fevers. They soon show signs of brain damage and have hallucinations and changes in behavior. There is a very small chance of surviving and the infected die within two weeks.
