Florida teen fighting for life after being infected by rare brain-eating amoeba

Fort Meyers — A Florida teen is fighting to stay alive after, doctors say, a rare brain-eating amoeba got in through his nose and infected his brain.

A member of Caleb Ziegelbauer's family told CBS Miami the 13 year old went swimming at Port Charlotte Beach Park on July 1.

Five days later, he was in a hospital after he started hallucinating and becoming disoriented.
