What impact does water contamination have on health in the context of GBS spike confirmed by NIV

- Water contamination can lead to the presence of harmful bacteria or toxins in drinking water, which can cause various health issues. - The confirmation of water contamination by NIV (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) can help identify the specific pathogens responsible for the contamination. - The spike in Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) can be related to water contamination if the pathogen responsible for GBS is found in the contaminated water. - This connection raises concerns about the transmission of GBS through contaminated water sources. - Public health implications include the need for immediate action to address the water contamination issue, implement safety measures for water treatment, and raise awareness about potential health risks associated with consuming contaminated water.
