The Problem

Brain-eating amoeba, is a deadly microorganism with a fatality rate exceeding 97%. This amoeba thrives in warm freshwater environments and infects humans when contaminated water enters the nose. Traveling up the olfactory nerve to the brain, destroying brain tissue. Rapidly multiplying causing severe inflammation and brain swelling. Leading to death within days. 

Symptoms include:

  • Headaches

  • Fever

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Seizures

  • Stiff neck

  • Hallucinations

The Future

Click the link above to learn more about the NSNP.

We propose the NSNP (Nasal Spray Nano Particles) to help prevent deadly brain infections caused by brain-eating ameobas.

The NSNP is a nasal spray to intercept and neutralize brain-eating ameobas before they can reach the brain. These nanoparticles are carbon nanotubes encased in graphene, an ultra-strong and highly conductive material arranged in a honeycomb structure. These nanotubes act like a microscopic web, trapping the ameobas upon contact. Once ensnared, the nanotubes release Amphotericin B-one of the few FDA- approved antifungal agents proven to effectively eliminate the ameobas within the brain. By integrating nanotechnology with targeted drug delivery, this approach offers a groundbreaking defense against brain-eating ameoba at their earliest stage
