Swimming pools and splash pads may be fun, but they’re also breeding grounds for two nasty bugs—crypto and cyclo—already causing 36 and 15 cases this year. Crypto’s a chlorine-resistant parasite that spreads through contaminated water and causes brutal diarrhea; cyclo’s more food- and water-borne. Metro Health’s got your back: wash hands with soap and water (hand sanitizer won’t cut it), avoid swallowing pool water, and stay out of the water if you’ve got the runs. Wash produce, scrub melons and cucumbers, and if you’re dealing with diarrhea, cramps, or nausea—don’t tough it out, call your doctor.
