ANTI-PARASITE MEASURES

Keep yourself clean, Utah tells pool users

It takes only one careless person to infect an entire pool.

That is the message from health officials in Salt Lake City as they begin a campaign to tell the public to keep clean while swimming this summer.

Nearly 2,000 people in Utah got sick last year from cryptosporidium, a parasite that can cause severe diarrhea and is commonly passed through feces.

New rules that kicked in Thursday say children younger than 3 or anyone incontinent must wear swim diapers or a waterproof swim pant. Everyone should shower with soap. No changing a diaper at the side of a pool.

"We all have to do our part to protect ourselves and each other," said Gary Edwards, director of the Salt Lake Valley Health Department.
