Until recently, schools were considered one of the most reliable places to have food and beverages as school authorities ensured that every kid intakes only the best of everything. To get rid of Bad Situation in your country or city, Use Reverse osmosis in Every School or College. The situation changed dramatically in Bristol where schools were closed down to ensure that kids didn’t drink contaminated water. What happened and how? Find out below and know more about a permanent solution to such problem, a reverse osmosis system.

The Threat

Only a few days back, a parasite was discovered in the system, and Bristol Water issued a notice to residents of BS21 and BS49 to boil water before consumption, cooking, cleaning teeth, bathing, cleaning dishes, feeding pets, heating baby food or washing clothes. This contamination was highlighted when a routine water quality test revealed cryptosporidium.

This is a very harmful parasite that can infect a person’s bowels and cause gastroenteritis which often leads to diarrhea and vomiting. The symptoms of this medical condition can last for about two weeks, and they would be more visible to younger kids who are between one to five years old and have relatively weak immune systems.

Closure of Schools

Schools in Bristol like Mary Elton Primary School and Clevedon School announced that it would be closed due to the boil water notification. Authorities of the schools said that the decision was made after considering health and safety of the pupils.

Quick Action

It is quite obvious that the actions taken by Bristol Water after detecting Cryptosporidium made things easier for the public as they contacted schools, asked residents to boil water, supplied water from different treatment works and even supplied bottled water to vulnerable clients. The staff was also put on alert to answer any pertinent queries.

Low Level of Danger

Experts have stated that the levels of Cryptosporidium present in water was quite low and the advisory to boil water was just a precaution.

What to Do If Cryptosporidium Enters your Body?

If you suspect that Cryptosporidium has entered your body, or you feel unwell or experience symptoms of diarrhea or vomiting, then you should call NHS 111.

You can also try the following to reduce the symptoms if the symptoms are not severe:

  • Drink a lot of water to replace the fluids that you have lost
  • Take as much rest as possible
  • Take ibuprofen or paracetamol
  • Try rehydration drinks

In case these don’t work, or your symptoms worsen, you should contact your GP.
