I do this several times a week as a prevention. The learning curve is ugh, but once the nose is clean, it is an almost enjoyable experience. Also, it seems to snuff out beginning colds really efficiently, though not 100 per cent reliably.

I would recommend using nasal saline spray instead. The chance of nigleria fowleri is tiny, but definitely not worth it.

  The worst documented outbreak was actually in Czechoslovakia: 1056/NEJM196606302742605. PMID 5939846. - Červa, L.; Novák, K. (April 1968). "Ameobic meningoencephalitis: sixteen fatalities". Science. 160 (3823): 92. That said, I feel fairly safe, because I a) run the water through a fine filter < 1 micron first, b) boil it anyway, just to be sure, c) these amoebas don't like cold running water and tend to live in warmer, stagnant waters only, so a typical municipal water system won't be infested.
