On Saturday, authorities announced dozens left the Houston area water park after suffering from minor skin irritation and respiratory issues.<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of people were taken to local hospitals following the incident. One of those individuals was a three-year-old child who was hospitalized, but&nbsp; in stable condition.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Grateful for the swift action from first responders today at Splashtown. In all, 60+ people suffered respiratory issues and around 30 were transferred to the hospital.
