A second person has contracted a potentially deadly infection caused by amebic meningitis after visiting hot springs in Costa Rica, the Health Ministry says.
Avraham Kotlitzky has been working for the last eight years to recreate a legendary hot springs resort on a hill just south of the city. The resort was Costa Rica’s biggest tourist attraction in the 1880s and, legend has it, the especially hot waters can cure all kinds of ails, from psoriasis to indigestion.
