Neti pot

[Benjamin Barrett]

Neti pots are in the news due to two people dying from a bacterial infection from using them.

The OED does not have the word "neti pot."

Along with "neti pot," the words "_Naegleria fowleri_" and "primary amebic meningoencephalitis" can be found at http://www.medpagetoday.com/InfectiousDisease/InfectionControl/30283. The OED has "meningoencephalitis" and "amœbic" but not "amebic" (only within citations) or  "primary amebic meningoencephalitis."
