Could we be at increased risk of stomach bugs due to extreme weather? A recent Colorado School of Public Health study examined 20 years of data and found a link between extreme weather and two common parasites. As environmental conditions continue to change, these findings underscore the potential need for public health interventions.
Lead author Elise Grover, MSPH, DrPH, senior research instructor at the Colorado School of Public Health, explains the findings of the study, which also involved the Colorado Department of Health and Environment.
