US health officials have confirmed the presence of a 'brain-eating' bacteria in the water supply of several communities near New Orleans.
Ascension Parish and St Bernard Parish have each discovered Naegleria fowleri amoeba, a bacteria that enters through the nose and attacks the brain.
Officials have begun a 60 day "chlorine burn" to kill off the deadly pathogen.
Water from the tap is safe to drink, officials say, but should be prevented from entering the nose.
