Campbell Green sprayground shut down after parasite scare

You likely noticed that the Campbell Green sprayground was shut down this weekend. The neighborhood play area was being treated for possible cryptosporidiosis, the same parasite that infected swimmers at Burger's Lake in Fort Worth. The Dallas Morning News reports that city officials decided to treat spraygrounds after there were reports that kids were showing symptoms associated with the parasite (diarrhea, stomachaches or cramps, nausea and fever) but there haven't been any confirmed cases in our neighborhood.
