Brixham residents suffered from severe gastrointestinal symptoms due to cryptosporidium in contaminated water. One woman compared the pain to giving birth after experiencing cramps and diarrhoea.
Health authorities detected 22 cases of cryptosporidium infection in Brixham, leading to a boiling water advisory. Victims faced challenges accessing clean water, with some experiencing symptoms for days.
Residents, including a young child, expressed concerns over the impact of cryptosporidium on health. Some faced shortages of bottled water due to panic buying in supermarkets.
