Puerto Rico investigates post-hurricane disease outbreak

FILE – In this Sept. 28, 2017 file photo, people affected by Hurricane Maria bathe in water piped in from a mountain creek, in Naranjito, Puerto Rico. Four deaths in Hurricane Maria’s aftermath are being investigated as possible cases of a disease spread by animals’ urine, Puerto Rico’s governor said Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2017, amid concerns about islanders’ exposure to contaminated water. On a U.S. territory where a third of customers remain without running water three weeks after the hurricane, some became ill after turning to local streams to relieve their thirst.
