The Utah Department of Health and Human Services is urging Utahns to not swim while they have diarrhea to prevent passing cryptosporidium, a parasite that is spread through feces, to others.
this summer, a statement issued by the department Tuesday says, and 46 of those cases were reported in the last week. Almost half of the people who got sick, 132, reported that they visited at least one pool or waterpark in Utah in the two weeks before they got sick, and 61 of them reported visiting a lake or other natural body of water.

The health department suggests that anyone with diarrhea stay out of pools until two weeks after their diarrhea stops, and anyone who suspects they have been infected with crypto should refrain from getting into the water and contact a doctor.
The health department says parents should take children on bathroom breaks or check diapers at least every hour while doing water activities and cautions against changing diapers by the water.
