A 2-year-old boy died on July 19 after becoming infected with a rare amoeba known to damage the brain, according to his family. The toddler reportedly contracted the condition while swimming in a natural hot spring in Nevada.
Woodrow Bundy’s family said in a statement on social media that the child started experiencing “flu-like symptoms” last week. His parents decided to take him to a hospital after they noticed that their son began showing “signs of deeper distress.”
