More than 350 individuals who took part in a recent Tough Mudder race in Sonoma, California, are experiencing an array of mysterious symptoms, including rashes, fever, headache, muscle aches, nausea, and vomiting. The County of Sonoma Department of Health Services suspects that the symptoms may be related to either a parasite called the schistosomatid trematode flatworm or a bacterial infection called Staph. Both can result in vomiting and fever. The health department has advised participants who have developed a rash with fever or other symptoms to seek medical attention. It is unclear at this time what exactly caused the illnesses. Swimmer’s itch, Staph infection, and Aeromonas infection are among the potential causes being considered by health officials. Swimmer’s itch is caused by a parasite found in waterfowl and snails and leads to an itchy rash and raised red bumps. Staph infections, on the other hand, are caused by staphylococcus bacteria and can cause boils and blisters. Aeromonas infection is caused by aeromonas hydrophila bacteria and results in symptoms like watery stools, mild fever, and vomiting. The Sonoma health department has yet to determine the exact cause of the outbreak. Tough Mudder organizers have promised to thoroughly investigate the matter.
