ameba

City officials said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the presence of the ameba in water samples from the Don Misenhimer Park splash pad on Friday.

“Ask me about brain-eating amebas,” a supervisor in the waterborne disease prevention branch beckoned on a sign.

The ameba solves this difficulty by dividing to form two amebæ.

So the ameba grows and moves and does as it likes.

“Those are some dried specimens of ameba that I wish to study under a microscope.”
