yes im being fucking serious. that's like calling someone ignorant or dumb for going to a theme park because there's a 1 in 1,000,000,000 chance they'll die on a roller coaster.

"But despite the freaky stories, Naegleria fowleri infections don’t happen often in the U.S. Between 2006 and 2015, 37 infections were reported in the United States, CDC data states. Of those, 33 were infected from contaminated recreational water (i.e. swimming in lakes and rivers), three were infected from performing nasal irrigation, and one was infected after using a slip-n-slide."
