    A child infected with an extremely rare brain-eating amoeba while swimming in a Northern California lake died in a hospital, his family confirmed Friday.

    David Pruitt, 7, of Tehama County, died from primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, or PAM, on Aug. 7, said his aunt, Crystal Hayley.

    The boy was rushed to the emergency room on July 30 and then flown to UC Davis Medical Center where he was on life support with severe brain swelling, Hayley said in a fundraising site she created for the family to raise funds for his care and funeral.

    The infection is extremely rare, and there have only been 10 cases reported in California since 1971, the Tehama County Health Services Agency said in an Aug. 4 news release. It said the boy was likely infected in a lake in Tehama County but didnโ€™t identify the boy or say where he got infected.

    Melodie loves the health benefits of sea swimming, but even more than that, she loves the social aspect. And so, when lockdowns were imposed owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, she needed to change tack. Instead of meeting groups in person, Melodie formed an online community of local sea swimmers which quickly flourished into a club. With restrictions lifting, she can’t wait to meet the members in person and go sea swimming with friends – old and new.
