Explanation
Randall's Wikipedia path: Virus -> Immune system -> Innate immune system -> Parasites -> List of parasites of humans -> Naegleria fowleri -> Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis.
Naegleria fowleri is supposedly also known as the brain-eating amoeba. It is found in warm bodies of stagnant fresh water (like in an aquarium?) and causes the disease primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a rare but highly lethal condition. (Randall also seems to be too sick to spell Wikipedia.)

Discussion
I expected the title-text's "Wikipedia path" to end with "Philosophy". 173.8.183.86 07:19, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- My thoughts exactly! (Extended Mind--see title text.) Zelmo (talk) 15:45, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Is "Wikipeida" a deliberate typo? Does it mean something different than "Wikipedia", or does it just indicate that Randall is too sick to spell "Wikipedia" properly? 194.106.220.85 09:07, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think it was, since it has been corrected. However, the picture in here has not updated... 95.209.104.190 16:32, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
I expected the FIRST comment will resolve the wikipedia entries ... well ok: Virus -> Immune system -> Innate immune system -> Parasites (actually redirect) -> List of parasites of humans -> Naegleria fowleri -> Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis -> Deciding I DEFINITELY shouldn't connect an aquarium pump to my sinuses -- Hkmaly (talk) 09:30, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- This comic likely refers to the recent bout of flu making its way through most of the US, was on the news a couple days ago.--Relic (talk) 03:40, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

- Yeah but the guy used faucet water instead of a completely clean one. 108.162.212.18 00:02, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
He may think he shouldn't use the aquarium pump, since the "brain eating bacteria" commonly infects people through the nose-- Odannyboy (talk) 06:32, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
