|May 12, 2025
The parents of a four-year-old boy rushed to hospital after suffering an infection linked to a visit to a petting farm have spoken of their “nightmare” ordeal.
Public health officials are examining 74 cases of cryptosporidium linked to visits to Cowbridge Farm Shop at Marlborough Grange Farm in Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan, during April.
Public Health Wales said the outbreak has resulted in 16 people having to stay in hospital for at least one night. The farm has voluntarily ceased all public animal feeding activities and is cooperating with the investigation, the health watchdog added.
One of the children affected was named by his family as fouryear-old Michael Carpenter, from Bridgend, who had visited the petting farm with his grandparents on 11 April.
