NBC's Ultimate Slip ‘N Slide shuts down production over an "explosive diarrhea" outbreak
-
The Wrap reports that the reality competition series had to halt production indefinitely after 40 crew members fell violently ill with what a source calls “awful explosive diarrhea” with people “collapsing” on set and “being forced to run into port-o-potties.” One person on the set in Simi Valley, outside of Los Angeles, tested positive on June 3 for giardia, an intestinal infection caused by a parasite.
