I'm not convinced people realise just how serious this is.
bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-6902615… IMO, the advice is cursory at best: "Boil the water." The parasite is in the supply, which means any water out of your taps in the kitchen and bathroom, including the toilet.

Even when you do get the "ALL CLEAR," it'll take a good few days of running your taps and flushing the loo to clean the system out.

I love this: "Likely cause...." personally, I don't believe a word of it. The wording is 'get out of jail'. For starters, it gives them an opportunity later to say, "We did say likely, you know."

I think Cryptosporidium is actually pretty common across the UK, the only difference here is it's hit a level high enough to be noticed!

While, of course, nobody wants to see people fall ill, it's having a devastating effect on the holiday market in the area. "Come to Devon, enjoy the s̶i̶t̶e̶s̶ shits."
