Why shouldn’t you rinse your nose with tap water even though it gets in your body when you shower?

I’ve seen that you should buy distilled water to rinse your nose with, but I probably get regular water in my eyes and nose when I shower anyways wouldn’t it be dangerous while showering also?

Three people have died from tapwater-filled neti-pots over the past three decades. [https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/neti-pots-nasal-rinsing-devices-linked-potentially-deadly-amoeba](https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/neti-pots-nasal-rinsing-devices-linked-potentially-deadly-amoeba)

That death rate of ONE PERSON EVERY TEN YEARS is considered by some people to be unacceptably risky for too little reward. I don’t believe it — it seems crazy small compared to the risk/reward profiles of almost everything else I do in my life.
