Before you go swimming be aware of Cryptosporidium
Before you and your family head to the pools and water parks this summer you should be aware of the parasite Cryptosporidium — more commonly known as “Cryptoâ€.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports there are many different types of Cryptosporidium that infect animals and humans.
Recreational water use is the most common way to spread the parasite which is a leading cause of waterborne disease among humans in the United States.
Big Sky Waterpark General Manager Roger Elliott says Crypto can be easily spread if a person enters the water that’s had diarrhea and vomiting within the last two weeks.
“Cryptosporidium is a spore baring bug that is protected in environments like guts and swimming environments with chlorine and the spore protects that bug from being harmed by regular amounts of chlorine,†said Elliott.
Elliott told MTN News that parents must have swim diapers on their children if they are going into the water. Often times crypto can spread if they don’t have the proper diapers.
“Young babies that don’t wear swim diapers can have accidents in the pool,†explained Elliott.

The International Olympic Committee said Friday its ethics commission has contacted both men about the allegation by former Rio state governor Sergio Cabral, who is serving a prison sentence for corruption.
Cabral’s testimony Thursday echoed details of an alleged Olympic vote-buying scheme in 2009 already in the public domain.

Saudi free diving champion drowns in Red Sea
The body of Bassam Bakheet, a Saudi free diving champion, was found near the spot where he started diving off the Jeddah coast Friday morning.
The body was found 80 meters underwater, following a search operation that lasted more than 24 hours, said Makkah Border Guard media spokesman Lt. Col. Faris Al-Maliki.
The search and rescue teams from the Border Guard said Bakheet was practicing on Thursday to participate in the international free diving championship, to be held in the Obhur creek as part of the activities of the ongoing Jeddah Season festival.
They said the Saudi and GCC free diving record holder went deep into the water but did not come back. He wanted to set a new record by remaining in the water for a longer time.
