Hello and welcome to another episode.

My name is Dan Schreiber. I am sitting here with Anna Toshinsky, Andrew Hunts of Murray,

and James Harkin. And once again, we have gathered around the microphone to our four favorite

facts from the last seven days and in no particular order, here we go. Starting with fact number

one, that is Anna. My fact this week is that the reason you can no longer

bathe in the Roman baths at bath is because they contain brain eating amoeba. So that

I don't know, doing like a D-rate horror film or something. But yeah, it's true. There

are amoeba in the bars that will eat your brain. I must say Anna, since you told us this

fact and we got to our travel lodge, your premierino, whatever it was today, I was thinking,

can I drink the water in bath? I have a question about this, which is that I have drunk the

waters of bath and I don't know exactly which ones I drunk. I imagine that. Just some

random bathwater. Actually, that's a problem with this fact. When you try and research it,

if you Google bathwater, all you get is someone called Bell Delphine, who is apparently an

adult influencer who was selling her bathwater for $30 a bottle. Oh, wow. Okay, well you

shouldn't be bathing in Bill Delphine's bathwater or bathwater and it's not all the water

in bath, it's just directly from the spring. So this was, this was discovered in the

seventies. I hadn't realised that until 1978, you could bathe directly in the spring, you

know when you're in the bath baths in the museum, there's that bath. How many times

do I say the word bath? And I hadn't realised that people used to swim in it until 1978 and

then they realised that coming directly from the spring was this amoeba called Nygeleria

Fowlery, which is also known as the brain eating amoeba. And you get it in warm fresh water,

it's very rare. And like I said, it's just this one spring, it's not in any of the rest
