Final answer:
Swelling around the eyes is a symptom commonly associated with the helminth Trichinella, which causes trichinosis. Other microorganisms like E. coli and Salmonella typically cause diarrheal diseases and not swelling around the eyes. Cholera, caused by Vibrio cholerae, is a waterborne disease known for causing severe watery diarrhea.
Step-by-step explanation:
The characteristic disease symptom of swelling around the eyes is associated with an infection by the microorganism Trichinella. Trichinella is a type of helminth, which is a multicellular parasitic worm, that can lead to a disease known as trichinosis or trichinellosis when its larvae are ingested typically through improperly cooked meat. In this disease, people may experience muscle pain, gastrointestinal issues, fever, and distinctive swelling around the eyes. Meanwhile, pathogens like Escherichia (E. coli) and Salmonella are more likely to be associated with diarrheal diseases, and Campylobacter with conditions such as food poisoning, though it can sometimes lead to complications like Guillain-Barré syndrome which does not typically cause swelling around the eyes.
Contaminated water can be the source of various infections. For example, Cholera, caused by Vibrio cholerae, is a disease prominently associated with contaminated water that leads to severe watery diarrhea. Other diseases, such as giardiasis by Giardia lamblia or cryptosporidiosis by Cryptosporidium parvum, are also intestinal infections resulting from protozoans found in tainted water.
