An Arkansas resident has died after being infected with an extremely rare brain-eating amoeba. The Department of Health on Thursday announced the death from the Naegleria fowleri infection, a rare infection which destroys brain tissue, causing brain swelling and in certain cases, death.
I’ve been to most states, many large cities and travelled internationally. I only moved here a few years ago.
Not everywhere in the state is a backwater hellhole. I’m not happy with the politics here either, but I also dont interact with those people if I can avoid it.
Where is not a backwater hellhole?
Northwest Arkansas. The Ozarks, around the Buffalo river. Great place if you love mountain biking, hiking, camping, local music, breweries.
Southern Arkansas and the Delta near Mississippi and Tennessee is the bad part.
