Alabama Water Park Temporarily Closed After Parasite Found

An Alabama water park has temporarily closed after a parasite that can survive for days in chlorinated water was found in the area, according to park officials. The Spring Valley Beach Water Park in Blountsville, Alabama, was closed this weekend after health officials traced a parasite called cryptosporidium to the park. The microscopic parasite can survive in properly chlorinated water for days and can cause nausea, diarrhea and stomach cramps, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
