Neti pot and brain eating parasite, a cause for alarm?

Asked by tan253 (2948points) January 1st, 2019 from iPhone

Hi all, I bought a Neti pot and some distilled water, I cleaned the Neti pot as instructed with hot soapy water ( from the Tap) then I poured boiling water in it to rinse it and then, once cooled, I put in the distilled water! Now I’m in a panic as I did use tap water to clean it and I’m feeling like an idiot. I’m curious, as I googled the brain eating parasite from tap water killing those people – should I be concerned about this? I used it in each nostril and then stopped due to much paranoia. Am I being crazy!? Or should I start panicking?! Thanks guys x
