CDHD reports five cases of mycobacterium abscessus in children who played in WEST YMCA wading pool.

The West Y-Boise City Aquatics Center was recently notified by the Central District Health Department (CDHD) that five children have contracted a skin infection caused by Mycobacterium abscessus, a bacteria found naturally in water and soil. Because each of these children played in the West YMCA children’s pool, this pool is a suspected source. We immediately cleaned and disinfected the pool and received the authorization to re-open the pool from CDHD. The West Family YMCA-Boise City Aquatics Center is working closely with CDHD to maintain the safety of the pool. Read more »
