I worked at the welfare office today and both workers and clients were complaining about getting “Cryptosporidium” (and yes they used that term) from their kids. I’d never heard of it… I have heard of amoebas…in fact I get amoebas every time I go to Mexico.
This most recent time I went I got them twice and some thing else.

Anyway seems Columbus has got their own amoebas or better known Cryptosporidium .
