Mic-UK [site A]: Amoebas are more than just blobs

One of the most enigmatic microscopic life forms is the amoeba. Almost everyone
knows what amoeba are, which is quite remarkable since they are not that
common. Microorganisms like rotifers are much easier to find but drop the
name 'rotifer' in a conversation and most people will not know what you
are talking about. But mention the word 'amoeba' and people will say: 'Yes,
you mean those critters that can take any shape they like!'
I have these motherfuckers in my gut. They keep coming back. 'Chronic Amoebic Dysentary', apparently of the 'drug resistant' variety. WOOT. Never take fecal free water for granted. Oh, and bring a bottle-water filter with you to India... and don't even brush your teeth with tap water. |

My sister just killed her Ecuadorian acquired ones. "It's like I'm never alone. There is always a party in my stomache". I think she had to use an elaborate drug cocktail to beat it. They appreciated the periodic Cipro tinctures she had been previously trying. |

They laugh at Cipro. They enjoy that it kills their intestinal competition. |
