We do not have good national data on recreational waterborne disease outbreaks because most people treat the symptoms of their illness (for example, fever, headache, diarrhea and vomiting) without ever finding out what caused them. Experts estimate that some 7 million Americans are sickened by contaminated water – including recreational and drinking water — every year.
