If your holiday was affected by something that should have been prevented, the next step is to get clear advice on whether you may be entitled to compensation.
What is Cryptosporidium?
Cryptosporidium is a parasite which, if ingested, can cause a condition called cryptosporidiosis.
The main symptom is watery diarrhoea, often accompanied by nausea or vomiting, fever, dehydration and sometimes weight loss. Anyone can be infected, but it is most common in children aged 1 to 5. Healthy people will normally recover within three weeks without treatment but those with weaker immune systems can develop more serious complications.
How is it Cryptosporidium transmitted?
Human infection occurs when parasite ‘oocysts’ are ingested by mouth. This form of the parasite can survive for long periods in water and the general environment.
The source of the infection can be from other people, from animals and their faeces, from untreated drinking water which has been contaminated by sewage, and from swimming in contaminated water.
How is Cryptosporidium treated?
There is no specific treatment for cryptosporidiosis. Those suffering should seek medical attention, especially babies and the elderly and if you have the condition, you should try to stay hydrated by taking regular small sips of fluids, including oral rehydration preparations.
How should holiday hotels prevent and manage cryptosporidium outbreaks?
- Ensure water supplies and swimming pools are properly treated
- Staff interacting with guests and preparing food should wash their hands regularly. Towels should not be shared.
- Wash and peel fruit thoroughly before being made available for consumption
- Avoid unpasteurised dairy products and fruit juice
- When episodes of gastric illness are reported, surfaces, door handles and sanitary facilities should be disinfected
- Staff preparing and serving food should maintain good hygiene
- Inform guests of any outbreak
If the hotel and tour operator have failed in their duty of care and you or a loved one become infected, then you should seek advice on pursuing a cryptosporidium holiday illness claim. Our helpful team have years of experience in handling this type of claim and we’ll guide you through every step of the claims process. We’ll also discuss the elements of compensation you could be entitled to.
