A grandmother has been rushed to hospital after drinking from water supplies contaminated with a microscopic parasite in Devon.
Have you been affected? Contact [email protected] Elaine Hollier, 80, from Brixham, Devon was rushed to hospital on Saturday after suffering from severe dehydration and vomiting as a result of drinking the contaminated water.Medics were initially unsure of what had caused the symptoms, before South West Water later confirmed the parasitic outbreak in the area.Her husband, Dennis Hollier, told the Mirror: “She was absolutely diabolical.
"The difficulty here is that cryptosporidium can take up to about 10 days before you become ill, so even if they stop the infection today we'd still see new cases occurring for at least another week to 10 days."She said people have been panic-buying bottled water.Eden Park primary School said it would be closing today as it could not safely open for students without clean drinking water.
