Around 65 people were sickened Saturday afternoon at a Houston-area water park in what local officials called a chemical incident.
“In the area around the kiddie pool in this water park, a lifeguard was sick, and soon after that, more and more people began becoming sick,” Harris County Judge Lina Hildalgo said in a news conference outside Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown in Spring, Texas.
“What began as a fun family day has turned into very much a nightmare for many families,” she said.
Public health officials are ordering the park to remain closed until they determine exactly what happened.
