The cryptosporidium parasite has been known to invade drinking water supplies. While most people exposed to cryptosporidium experience only mildly annoying
flu-like symptoms, those with
compromised immune systems, such as the very old, very young, or those suffering from
AIDS or other similar illnesses can become quite ill and face
death.
See your doctor if you have experienced serious health problems because of exposure to the cryptosporidium parasite. In addition, it may be important to
contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Please keep in mind that there may be
time limits within which you must commence suit.
