MISKOLC, Hungary -- Some 1,200 people in northeastern Hungary have fallen ill from drinking contaminated water, the director of national epidemic affairs said yesterday.
Flooding caused by heavy spring rainfall contaminated the spring water that flows into the city water system, experts said.
On Thursday, residents of the city of Miskolc (MEESH-kolts) - some 160 km northeast of Budapest - (and some 70 km northeast of Szolnok) began showing first symptoms of bacterial poisoning, falling ill with diarrhea, vomiting and fatigue.
You never want to "fall ill." That sounds especially unpleasant. Thankfully, Szolnok isn't experiencing the flooding that Miskolc is. Our water's tasty.
