- The confirmed cases of a waterborne disease caused by a parasite have more than doubled.
There are 46 cases of cryptosporidiosis, a diarrhoeal illness, the UK Health Security Agency has said - with more than 100 further people reporting similar symptoms in the Brixham area.
Other reported cases of diarrhoea and vomiting in residents and visitors to Brixham, in Devon, are also under investigation.

They have also found several parasites in the boardroom.
And thousands on rubber dinghies in the channel .
not as many as in the tory party.
They must be conservatives.
@DavidGetting The water companies should be immediately prosecuted for deliberate negligence,and crimes against humanity,why are the citizens not complaining,and why oh why are they still paying those illegal water companies.
Third world problems here in the uk
In more ways than one 😮
Greed cuts corners.
In any other country the water company bosses will be behind bars for this. But in UK they can pay themselves millions in bonuses.
Greed and corruption is rewarded on the UK
And directors of water companies having millions in bonuses.
Should now be getting PRISON SENTENCES!!
It's the 21st century but we're back in the middle ages. FFS!
just where the tories want us to be. poor houses next!
@@kanedNunablealready done, uk houses are tiny
To save money and boost bonuses for bosses the water companies have been using the rivers as dumping grounds for sewage.
And the sea.
My water smells and tastes of strong bleach, it’s disgusting.
We have had the same issue here in Warwick
Chlorine, but same thing, they might have found something, but they chlorinate more even if something gets found in waste water.
Not chlorine they changed to chloramine a long time back....
Tainted water by the east
Yeah I have noticed that about mine too! I have nothing else to drink other than tap water so im really scared
Can't we ask Africa to send some money ??????
can't we ask the shareholders for some money?
what does africa have to do with this? blame the water company
The main thing is shareholders are getting record amount of profits. Sure, a few may die, but look at those profits. That is the country we now live in.
Why are shareholders getting anything? The water companies signed a deal years ago saying they would maintain network to modern standard they haven’t so in reality zero profit or there should be none because it’s ear marked for maintenance and updating. Basically they reneged on their initial deal with government
100%
stop your direct debit then simple answer!
I think it’s responsibility of NHS and Central Government to take tests from absolutely everyone in the area. That way it can be used when legal action is taken against water company
They will cover it up, yes, even the NHS, caught them out myself before.
It’s like we are living in India… rishis ideal new Britain!
Really? That the extent of the public information? NOT GOOD ENOUGH! SEND EMERGENCY SUPPORT NOW ! Health professionals to answer calls from the concerned, provide access to GP and a&E services, weekend cover with ambulances and to access to information and assistance without delay when needed. Provide checks on elderly and vulnerable, provide support in schools and in clinics and hospitals. AND get the health emergency sorted without delay. Make suppliers and all responsible accountable. There should be questions, consequences and an invoice!
Another day in Toryworld.
Bottles of water will be sold out everywhere good job sky.
Don't worry, I have some £10L
lol u can just boil the tap water…..
Unbelievable 😮definitely .
Boil Your Water 💧
"...and dont forget to wash your hands, oh yeah, wait! In fact, don't wash your hands."
Well its time to start panic buying bog rolls again folks
Yuk, those parasites are stubborn!! Cause great pain.
Distiller or water Purifier is needed for each household. Don't trust the taps!
We have hit third world problems. Who’s going to build us a well for safe drinking water?!
I “urge” everybody to stop paying the water board wise up people
What about food manufacturers who use the water?
Not a problem it will go in with rest of toxic nonsense we are fed !!! 🇬🇧
Don’t worry they won’t charge extra for the parasites
@@dantownsend4246I bet they try, it must be protein.
And Restaurants..
Where is a story on the Synagogue attack in France, Sky. Not reporting it?

It’s all about the shareholders !!!!!!
At least english privatised water is better than scottish public water.
Am off for a drink of scottish water from underground wells from my tap..
'Please dont call the doctor' we dont want the statistics
Not only have folk been infected but they are advised not to seek medical advice. Third world nightmare for some.
What is OFWAT doing? not alot by the sounds of it....leaning back in that big comfy office chair looking out the window i expect!!
Diversity is our strength
Dont drink lumpy water. I hope they aint put it in pasties . Ugh...
So do we wash our hands or no?
Well the water company has washed their hands of the problem
They should try Lincolnshire water it tastes like crap all year long.
Ewwww Toilet disease ...... Does it effect people's Pets too 🤔
#Turdgate.
the asset stripping continues, even as Thames Water faces imminent bankruptcy
They seem this coming and sent it anway .
Cryptosporidium to the MOOOON
We should all just dig out own wells, ahh wait that's illegal
Cant live in the wilderness. Not allowed to hunt. Not allowed to wild fish. Not really allowed to legally forage.
Also not allowed to be homeless. 😅
Is this the new covid then
Nah, this is in Devon because some idiots didn't maintain the water pipes, to busy counting their fat bonuses and contemplating whether to buy a yacht or another multi-million home
Maybe. This parasite can spread person to person and not just from drinking crap riddled water. Flooding has been crazy, rivers bursting banks all over the place. This was a ticking time bomb and the government would have known it but didn't bother to warn anyone. Welcome to 2024.
It's not spread in the same way, it's in water in one area, it's waterborne rather than airborne.
Makes one appreciate our normal supply of water in the UK. some people live with this quality of water daily plus walking miles to get enough for the day. Usually very fortunate, switch a switch and electricity flows, turn a tap and we have water. Appreciate what we have, just the management needs to be more responsible and organised.🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
Holy Cow.. "responsible and organised" - they are its called, Bonuses and Shares,, both also heavily suffering as a result of a selfish Cow, This is of course, damage control Bullshit.
Our normal supply in UK is not what it should be. We are taking all the worst of third world countries and USA and now our Water Supply is increasingly not satisfactory. Decades ago it was ok but it isn’t anymore.
@@lisadefries6718we literally have some of the best water quality in the world 😂
@@lisadefries6718 decades ago we had Cryptosporidium outbreaks more often. The 1995 outbreak in the same area affected far more people before it was found, so that would seem to indicate processes have improved somewhat, the boil order was issued faster this time.
Everyone will have the shits😂😂😂😂
awful country 20 years behind the European countries
Tap Water is Not drinking Water.
Yes it is and under the previous legislation it was rigerously sampled and tested to catch failures in the systems used.
It is in Scotland
i knew pandemic was just the beginning, *palm face*
This is why I only drink tea or beer, leave the bottled water drinking to Californians
It’s not bottled water that the problem its water coming out of taps in Brixham. Nobody discussing drinking Evian water.
It's getting worse 😂. Will continue to get worse & they won't do anything to stop it happening again. Even if the gov steps in the board will just divide the payments they've been given to fix the problem between it's shareholders 😝.
🦠🦠😱!!!!
Infrastructure is Fecked !! Urgh !!!!!!🇬🇧🇬🇧rest in Peace
Thurd world problems
I said months ago I think Putin will do something to the water .
Your paranoid, this is incompetence and greed. Putin doesn't give a sh*t about the UK other than it assists the US in trying to dominate Russia.
