nextprevA Pennsylvania man and his wife have filed a lawsuit against an amusement park over claims that he contracted an eye-eating parasite after going on one of the water rides. Trostle and his wife, Krystsina, claim they noticed that the ride’s water supply was “dirty, stagnant and sludge-like,” while waiting in line. However, when his symptoms worsened, Trostle claims he was diagnosed with microsporidia keratitis, which “eats away at the cornea of the eye,” TribLIVE.com reported. Trostle claims he continues to suffer from blurry vision, itchiness, pain, inflammation and redness in the afflicted eye since doctors were not able to remove the parasite in entirety. A Kennywood spokesman told the Associated Press he couldn’t comment on pending litigation, but that safety of all rides and water are a “top priority” at Kennywood.
