UTAH: Public help sought in crypto fight - (The Herald Journal)
May 8, 2008 – 6:19 pmThe Bear River Health Department is seeking the publics cooperation this summer in guarding against the spread of cryptosporidium.
After the worst cryptosporidiosis outbreak in Utahs history last summer, the state has issued proposed rule changes in an attempt to prevent a similar year.
Max Gyllenskog, environmental health scientist and swimming pool program manager for the Health Department, expects the proposed changes which are currently out for public comment until May 15 to go into effect.
I believe it would take a very strong argument to convince the (Utah) Department of Health … to not use these rules, Gyllenskog said.
One of the additions stipulates that a person who has or has had diarrhea within the last two weeks may not enter a public pool.
