Brain-eating amoeba in water causes high anxiety in Louisiana parish

A boy's death has been traced to a brain-eating amoeba in the water supply in St. Bernard Parish, La. Officials say there are no major health risks, but residents worry.



Officials traced the death of a 4-year-old Mississippi boy in August to a day spent playing on a Slip 'n Slide in a New Orleans suburb.
