A brain-eating amoeba has killed at least 10 people in Pakistan's most populous city since May, a World Health Organisation official said on Tuesday. Naegleria fowleri has a fatality rate of more than 98 per cent. It is transmitted when contaminated water enters the body through the nose and cannot be passed person-to-person.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
