Problems Reported At Simmons Farm Petting Zoo

(Middletown, RI)  --  A quarantine order is being issued for a petting zoo in Rhode Island. The state department of environmental management is investigating the connection between the zoo at Simmons Farm in Middletown and several recent reported cases of cryptosporidiosis, a disease spread through contact with feces of an infected person or animals. Specifically, state officials say one child and two adults who have been diagnosed reported having contact with goats at petting zoo events in the last week of March.
