HuffPost
A parasite initially paused production in June.
“Ultimate Slip ’N Slide” has slid its way off the NBC schedule. Production was initially paused on the competition show in June after “up to 40 crew members fell violently ill” amid an outbreak of “awful explosive diarrhea,” The Wrap reported at the time. At least one crew member tested positive for the parasite Giardia, which according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “causes the diarrheal disease giardiasis” and can spread easily “from person to person or through contaminated water, food, surfaces, or objects.”More Related News
