Title: Cryptosporidiosis warning.
Post by: Debs. on 29 June 2009, 16:52:33
Sadly, I have been suffering with cryptosporidiosis for nearly three weeks since (simply) splashing my face from an old outside-tap on a neighbour`s farm on a hot day.
It`s a horrible illness (I`ve lost over 25 Lbs. in weight over the last 3 weeks) and I just wanted to remind everyone of the importance of observing hygienic precautions where any 'water' (be it drinking or swimming-pools/ponds/rivers etc.) is concerned.
I`m always very careful about hygiene around the farm and yet I still got caught out by a simple splash of water on my face; so, please be particularly careful during this spell of hot-weather, guys!

Very sorry to learn that Debs, and I hope you recover soon.  Only you could catch something with a name that most of us cannot even spell, let alone say :-* :-* ;)

A timely reminder though of the dangers of 'dirty' water in hot weather conditions especially. 8-) 8-) :y

Sorryy to hear your unwell and hope you feel better soon. I'm amazed that when I was a child I didn't catch anything nasty from water I remember swimming in the Shropshire union canal during a heatwave the water was the colour of drinking chocolate! :o

Mrs TB wants to come visit, and you take her to tap, 25lbs sounds appealling to her.

Get better soon :)

Get well as soon as you can Debs x

And also thanks for the info on the water hygiene, what with the met office's hot weather warnings it is even more important now than ever!

Maybe it's just safer not to wash...... :-/
