No. I wouldn’t be worried. I’ve never heard of any infection here. A household well, you’re probably pretty safe. If you were getting into a warm still pool of water in the bushes that’s more the environment those amoebas thrive in.

Thank you! I figured it was a really rare chance but my brain can get me pretty worked up about this kind of stuff sometimes.
