You can't see them.

But cryptosporidium, a type of bacteria, can survive in swimming pools and spas, despite chlorine.

Nationally, it has caused 32 outbreaks and 10,000 cases of waterborne-diarrhea linked to swimming pools, spas and water parks, according a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report last week.

Here's how you can prevent spreading and contracting crypto, according to CDC reports and Dr. Hildy Meyers, medical director of communicable disease control and epidemiology for the Orange County (Calif.) Health Care Agency.

Q. How common is water-borne diarrhea caused by crypto?

A. It is uncommon, but it's possible that more cases have occurred because people may not report to local health officials cases or outbreaks of diarrhea linked to pools or spas.

Many outbreaks are never detected.
