Parasite outbreak linked to hotel pool sickens more than a dozen

Original: More than a dozen sickened in parasite outbreak linked to hotel pool, health officials say

Health officials report that more than a dozen people have fallen ill in a parasite outbreak traced to a hotel swimming pool. The story is being carried by local television stations across several US states. A waterborne parasite such as cryptosporidium is a common culprit in pool-related outbreaks, as it can survive standard chlorine levels. Officials are urging swimmers to avoid pools when experiencing diarrhea and to shower before swimming.

Why now: Local outlets nationwide are picking up the health advisory, warning summer swimmers about contaminated pool water.
