Cryptosporidiosis is: A parasitic intestinal infection that causes watery diarrhea, cramping, sometimes with nausea, ; headache, for about 2 weeks. The parasite is shed in the stool for several weeks after symptoms subside. To avoid its fecal-oral spread, trim your fingernails, wash your hands really well after each trip to the bathroom, ;, if you're really worried, don't prepare raw fruits ; vegetables for your family.
