ʻO wai maoli kēia 'amoeba ʻai lolo'?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he meaola liʻiliʻi kēia i hana ʻia me hoʻokahi keena. I ka pololei, he microorganism ia no ka hui i kapa ʻia ʻo amoeba. Ua ʻike mua ʻia kēia ʻano i ka makahiki 1965. ʻO kona inoa ʻepekema ʻo 'Naegleria fowleri' .

Inā komo kēia meaola i loko o ke kino o ke kanaka, hele pololei ia i ka lolo, e hoʻoulu ai i kahi maʻi koʻikoʻi loa a me ka pehu ʻana o ka lolo. Ua kapa nā kauka i kēia maʻi ʻo Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM) . I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, "ʻai" kēia amoeba i nā ʻiʻo o ka lolo, e luku ana iā ia. ʻO ia ke kumu i kapa ʻia ai ʻo "amoeba ʻai lolo."

He liʻiliʻi loa kēia amoeba ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke ʻike me ka maka ʻōlohelohe. Pono mākou e nānā iā ia me kahi microscope. E noʻonoʻo, ʻoiai ʻo ka laulā o ko mākou lauoho ma kahi o 40-50 micrometers, ʻo ka nui o kēia amoeba ma kahi o 8-15 micrometers.

ʻO kēia amoeba, i kapa ʻia ʻo 'Naegleria fowleri', makemake nui ʻo ia i ka wai maʻemaʻe mehana, i mālama ʻole ʻia. Hiki iā ia ke ola i nā mahana a hiki i 46 degere Celsius (115 degere Fahrenheit). No laila, he mea nui loa ia e ʻike kākou i kahi e loaʻa ai kēia meaola.

Eia ka mea nui loa e pono ai kākou a pau e makaʻala. Ke lohe kākou i ka huaʻōlelo 'amoeba ʻai lolo', noʻonoʻo kākou i kahi moʻo liʻiliʻi e hele mai ana e ʻimi i ko kākou lolo. Akā, ʻokoʻa ka ʻoiaʻiʻo.

ʻO ke ala wale nō e hiki ai i kēia maʻi ke komo i ke kino ma o ka ihu.

E noʻonoʻo ʻoe e ʻauʻau ana i loko o kahi loko a i ʻole ka loko wai kahi i loaʻa ai kēia mau amoeba. Ke luʻu ʻoe, lele, a hana paha i kahi mea e like me ka 'ski wai', hiki i ka wai ke komo koke i kou ihu. I kēlā manawa, komo nā amoeba i loko o ka wai i kou kino ma o kou ihu.

Mai laila mai, hele kēia amoeba ma ko kākou aʻalolo honi a hiki i mua o ka lolo. Lilo ka lolo i kumu meaʻai nona.

Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole hiki ke laha kēia maʻi mai kekahi kanaka a i kekahi kanaka. ʻO ia hoʻi, inā ʻoe e launa pū me kahi kanaka i loaʻa i ka maʻi, ʻaʻole ʻoe e loaʻa i kēia maʻi.

Hoʻomaka ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o nā hōʻailona ma waena o 2 a me 15 mau lā ma hope o ka maʻi.
