Poop in the pool

You may be unaware that while dipping in the pool, some of you may have residual faeces on your bodies. That is why there are several faecal materials shed in the pool.Based on studies, adults bring in about 0.14 grams of faeces while children can carry up to 100 times that amount. Poops in the pool can carry bacteria like E. coli, Campylobacter(food poisoning), Shigella, Vibrio and viruses such as hepatitis A and typhoid. Fecal matter will carry any disease spread through the fecal-oral route, including bacteria like E. coli, shigella, campylobacter (food poisoning), and vibrio. It can also carry viruses such as hepatitis A and typhoid, and parasites like giardia and cryptosporidium.
