Amoebas found in Mexico's water can cause a parasitic infection known as amoebiasis in humans. These amoebas, particularly Entamoeba histolytica, can be ingested through contaminated water or food, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, and in severe cases, liver abscesses. It is important to practice proper hygiene and drink clean, treated water to prevent infection.

Amoebas use contractile vacuoles to pump out excess water from their cytoplasm. These vacuoles collect and expel water to maintain their internal balance and prevent them from bursting due to osmotic pressure.
Brain eating amoebas, Naegleria fowleri, are microscopic. They live in warm water, like runoff water from power plants, mud puddles, and warm lakes. They can live in temperatures up to 115º F. However, amoebas cannot survive in salt water or treated water. Amoebas enter the body through the nose, usually when swimming in untreated water. Amoebas travel up the nerve that is responsible for smell, from the nose to the frontal lobe of the brain. They feed on the brain, and release enzymes that dissolve brain tissue. Keep in mind, infection from brain eating amoebas are very rare.
Amoebas live in the water with frogs. The relationship between amoebas and frog intestines, is that certain amoebas can be found feeding off of the intestines of the frog.

Yes, amoebas have contractile vacuoles that help regulate their water balance by expelling excess water from the cell. These vacuoles also play a role in excreting waste material from the cell.
