It is with heavy hearts that we report the tragic passing of two young students from Millstead Primary School in Liverpool. These children, aged five and six, were beloved members of their school community and brought joy to their classrooms every day. The headteacher of the school, located in the Everton suburb, confirmed the devastating news and expressed their deep sadness over the loss of these bright and lively students.
The cause of their deaths has been linked to an outbreak of giardiasis, an intestinal infection caused by a single-celled parasite. Health officials have stated that it is unlikely that the infection was the direct cause of their passing. Giardiasis is typically spread through contaminated water or contact with an infected person, and symptoms include bloating, diarrhea, cramps, and weight loss. While it can be difficult to diagnose, it is not considered a serious risk and can be easily treated with antibiotics.
The United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has offered their condolences to the family, friends, and school community of the two students. They have also clarified that the deaths are not likely to be a result of giardiasis, as the infection usually causes a mild illness that can easily spread in households and schools.
