Parasites?

[Jameshtx]

Just came across this from a local news channel about crypto parasite in public pools and water parks.

Feeling sick after swimming? Beware of possible parasites

Has anyone encountered this personally before?

Man I wish I could find the video someone posted a while ago. It was a small child sliding down a public pool slide and leaving a brown streak behind her and ewwwwwwww She had on a diaper but............

While it does exist, the incident rate of people actually contracting it is very very small. Of course the news doesn't say that of the millions and millions of swimmers only a very few contract anything. I read that the national incidence rate is between .29 and .70 cases per 100,000

Having said that, I don't frequent public pools. :tongue:
