The CDC is asking Americans to take precautions over reports that "crypto," a fecal parasite that can be transmitted via swimming pools, is getting a lot worse. .
According to CNN, "the parasite's full name is cryptosporidium. It causes cryptosporidiosis, which can leave healthy adults suffering from "profuse, watery diarrhea" for as long as three weeks. The effects can be worse for children, pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems."
The way I understand it is, people aren't cleaning their backsides very well, going in pools, and other people are putting that dirty pool water in their mouths and drinking some. Then they get sick, and the cycle continues.
So please don't drink pool water, and clean your booty a little better before you swim. Thanks
