In fact, diarrhea is the most common illness reported for outbreaks linked to recreational water. These germs can survive in properly chlorinated water for minutes to days, depending on the germ. If someone is sick and has diarrhea in the water, millions of germs can contaminate the water. These germs can make other people sick if they swallow even a small amount of contaminated water.
Swallowing 10 or fewer germs can make people sick. Germs can also get in the water if swimmers have poop, even tiny amounts, on their bottoms.
Filters and disinfectants chemicals that disinfect the water, such as chlorine or bromine work together to help kill germs in pools, hot tubs, and water playgrounds. Filters remove debris such as leaves , which use up the disinfectant in the water. Pool staff make sure chlorine or bromine is at the level needed to kill most germs in the water within minutes. You can still be exposed to germs during the time it takes for the water to go through filters and for the disinfectant to kill germs.
You can also get diarrhea from germs that are hard to kill, such as Crypto. Crypto stays alive for more than 7 days, even if water is properly filtered and disinfected. Many places with pools use one filtration system for more than one pool, which causes water from multiple pools to mix. We all share the water we swim, play, or relax in.
I remember pooping a lot when I was kid when we went to the pool. The good thing is it's always an easy wipe. What's the deal? Nothing like warm water to relax the ole bowels. Probably also explains why I crap in the shower every morning. All that water puts extra pressure on the abdomen, and bowels, of those kids who have a hard enough time keeping from peeing while they sleep. Once at Mandalay, and Paris just last month. She was playing in the kiddie pool, which happens to have one of those fountains that sit flush with the bottom of the pool and shoot a pretty good sized water jet straight up 3'-4'high.
So she sits down on one for a while. She gets up and walks over to me. Her stomach is distended, but I chalk it up to her just pushing her belly out and being 'imaginative.
Ten seconds later. In the bathroom, she's on the potty. An outpouring Clyde would be proud of. Five seconds later. I check my side. Seems like the wetness likely came from up front, rather than the back. Nevertheless, I bathe in the sink while she finishes. So far my son has always made it out of the pool and into the bathroom before the call of nature was answered.
Good thing, too, because the ICBMs he produces would probably clog the skimmer. I'd just like to clarify that she has never pooped IN the pool. It's just that being at the pool makes her have to poop and I take her to the bathroom. I'd say she poops almost every time I take her to the pool. I've been in Vegas twice now, where somebody crapped the pool. Pools are awful. The Centers for Disease Control just put out a report noting that Cryptosporidium outbreaks have risen an average of 13 percent each year from to Pools and other swimming spots like water parks accounted for 35 percent of those outbreaks, while the rest were mainly from cattle or from a childcare facility.
All it takes is some little kid to go swimming too soon after having an infection to spread crypto to the whole pool. You can catch pus-filled rashes from Pseudomonas , a fever and cough from Legionella , diarrhea from Shigella , diarrhea from Giardia , diarrhea from Norovirus , or diarrhea from E.
The point is that public pools are full of microorganisms just dying to give you the runs. About 8 in every 10 pool inspections find serious health code violations. Of those eight, one will be so serious that the pool has to shut down immediately. Lots of these violations have nothing to do with the actual detection of bacteria or viruses.
The CDC estimates that half of all spas are in violation of the health code and that one in nine should be closed immediately. Communal water is gross. But consider this: there are over million pool visits every year in the United States, yet only around 1, people get infections from the revolting water they swim in.
