Cryptosporidium 
Most commonly known as Crypto, this parasitic illness is one of the top causes of RWIs and leads to diarrhea that can last 2 to 3 weeks. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, weight loss, stomach cramps, dehydration and fever. Pregnant women, young children and individuals with weakened immune systems are most likely to get infected. Even though Crypto can be found in lakes and rivers, you are more likely to find it in swimming pools.
