"Tough Mudder Race Leaves Athletes with Rashes and Fever"

Several participants in a Tough Mudder race in Sonoma County, California, have fallen ill, developing rashes, fever, and other symptoms. At least 22 people have reported these symptoms, which health officials believe may be caused by a bacterial infection called aeromonas. The infection is contracted through open wounds and is commonly misdiagnosed as a staph infection or swimmer's itch. Health officials are advising anyone who participated in the race and developed a rash to seek medical attention.
