IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. —There is growing concern from two South Bay doctors after they say they've seen a rise in respiratory illnesses at their urgent care clinic in recent weeks.Dr. Matthew and Kimberly Dickson are the owners of South Bay Urgent Care .
The pair said they started to see a correlation in patients needing treatment for respiratory symptoms in the last few weeks when the smell was worse than usual. In late April - ABC 10News spoke with a mom who also felt there was a correlation between the smell and her two-year-old getting sick. Last year, these same urgent care doctors also tracked gastrointestinal symptoms in their patients after big storms increased sewage-related runoff from Mexico, causing high bacteria levels in the water.
