OP...It might be prudent of your daughter to take some water samples from that creek along to sons Dr. to be tested. Hopefully he has a rash and nothing more serious.

All very rare, occurring in lakes and ponds. And the other children did not suffer the symptoms.
The child went to the Dr. He is over his diarrhea and rash.
Seriously, kids get diarrhea and all manner of itchy scratchy bumps in the summer. Your first go to is going to be a very rare brain eating amoeba that doesn't even occur in creeks.
I don't think pediatricians do water testing.
Sounds like you have been watching too many reruns of House.
Giardia. We lived in the suburbs of NY at the time. It could well have come from the stream, or it could have been food-borne. I was just glad to eventually find out what it was, wish I'd known what it was when I was a kid. My parents chalked it up to me going to a new and more challenging school.

That is very rude, considering the links have nothing to do with myself, I'm certainly not making this stuff up...but I was simply providing the links for information to counteract all of the "You are over reacting" nay sayers in this thread. And to folks who have never heard of this reaction to certain bodies of water.
And, if this information can help prevent one child from suffering, all the better......like the old proverb about the star fish....."It matters to this one."
The OP asked if anyone has heard of this type reaction, some of us try to provide evidence to support our opinions.
I have to wonder what kinds of tests are being done. The doctor never ran them for my child.
Sounds like the daughter is trying to find a way to keep "her kids" from seeing her husband's family.
