12. Brain Eating Parasites
There is an Island at Disney World called Discovery Island. If you go swimming in the waters near there you just might discover that your brain has been eaten by a parasite. There is an amoeba known as Naegleria fowleri that has been found there. It can cause a dangerous infection that can ultimately eat away at the victim’s brain. Don’t worry though, it has only been linked to one death at Disney World. This is the reason Disney’s first water park closed, as it used water from the lagoon that the amoeba called home.
