    AP: Outbreak of illness at splash park not caused by zoo animals

    GODDARD, Kan. — Health officials say an outbreak of illness at a splash park near Wichita was not caused by animals at its interactive zoo.

    The Wichita Eagle reports that email exchanges it obtained through an open records request show none of the water samples health officials took from the splash park at Tanganyika Wildlife Park had animal-linked contamination. A health department official wrote in one email that results of water samples taken June 19 and sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention help rule out the animals at the park.

    Health officials have said that eight people who visited the park on June 11 contracted Shigella, a bacteria that spreads from person-to-person through exposure to contaminated feces.
