| ==Overview==
| |
| [[Giardiasis|Giardiasis]] outbreaks can occur in communities in both developed and developing countries where water supplies become contaminated with raw sewage. It can be contracted by drinking water from lakes or streams where water-dwelling animals such as beavers and muskrats, or domestic animals such as sheep, have caused contamination. It is also spread by direct person-to-person contact, which has caused outbreaks in institutions such as day care centers. Anything that comes into contact with feces (poop) from infected humans or animals can become contaminated with the [[Giardia lamblia|''Giardia'']] parasite. People become [[Infection|infected]] when they swallow the parasite. It is not possible to become [[Infection|infected]] through contact with blood.
