Killer Neti Pots: a comic against brain-eating amoebas

The whole killer neti pot brain-eating amoebas thing the media has picked up and its subsequent reaction amongst the health community is cracking me up.

It’s terrible, but the news headlines are sensational and read like tabloids.

(In case you missed it, neti pots are those nasal irrigating pots that help clean your sinuses and have been a gift to allergy and sinus headache suffers everywhere. They are a favorite of nature health practitioners. Imagine their shock when they find that amoebas in your neti water can enter the brain and kill you. The news of this nightmare is everywhere, from NPR to fox news. It’s an 11 o’clock local news dream.)

In the spirit of sensationalism everywhere, my first comic:

 

It’s not parody.

Don’t drink the water.
