| quote: | The state says it's seen a sharp rise in the number of people catching a chlorine-resistant parasite from public swimming pools.
The parasite is called Cryptosporidium and is typically spread by an infected child who goes to the bathroom in the pool, or from fecal matter on people's bodies.
Doctors say anyone who swallows the pool water can get painful intestinal cramps and diarrhea, which can last for weeks.
"We've seen cases double from 2005 to 2006, and we think it doubled again form 2006 to 2007. So it's certainly on the rise here in New Mexico and across the country," said Deborah Busemeyer of the New Mexico Department of Health.
Doctors say parents should avoid changing diapers pool-side, and they should take children on frequent bathroom breaks |
but it just goes to show you that swimming with fecal matter is not recommended
