Giardia is a protist commonly found in untreated or contaminated water sources and can cause symptoms such as severe stomach cramps and diarrhea. Toxoplasma gondii, Plasmodium, and Leishmaniasis are all protists that can cause illnesses, but they are typically not associated with symptoms such as stomach cramps and diarrhea following exposure to unclean water.
