Your threat model here is wild. You'd rather have machines surgically installed in part of your actual brain than risk an amebiasis that you're only seeing in the news right now because it so rarely actually happens to anyone that House, MD did a whole, typically awful, two-parter about it.
If you're really worried about defending your brain from all comers, you should really start by having all your maxillary teeth pulled and replacing them with a denture plate. Their roots are a lot closer to your brain than you likely realize, and an untreated maxillary abscess is much more likely to quickly progress to fatal encephalopathy than you are to ever insufflate water containing N. fowleri.

Saying bye to colds, headaches, allergies, respiratory infections, with a simple filter? Fuck yes :) > you should really start by having all your maxillary teeth pulled Oh yeah, if I weren't so poor I would have done that years ago. I still hope to be wealthy enough, one day, that I'll be able to replace all my teeth with artificial ones that don't decay.

- toyg 6y agoNo; a mask i don’t have to put on and off, doesn’t stop me from talking clearly, doesn’t stop from eating and drinking, doesn’t make my face sweat, doesn’t make my glasses steamed, doesn’t need to be replaced every day, etc etc.
