* The Olmsted County Public Health Department received a call from a mother concerned that her child had a foodborne illness.
* Other people who had eaten at a banquet also were ill.
* A foodborne outbreak was ruled out, however.
* Investigators learned that all of the ill people were frequent swimmers at a local swimming pool.
* The long duration of illness also raised suspicions that Cryptosporidium was a possible agent.
