Causes of Watery Diarrhea

7. Exposure at Work or School
In places such as daycares, some organisms can spread rapidly. The increase in daycare usage among parents has led to an increased incidence of diarrhea due to Cryptosporidium species and rotavirus. Other organisms that have been implicated include Giardia, Shigella, Campylobacter, Norovirus, and more.
Exposure to animals, especially among individuals who work with animals, also has a higher risk of diarrhea. For example, exposure to young cats or dogs has been associated with Campylobacter organisms. Exposure to turtles has also been associated with Salmonella organisms.
