They can be caused by germs and chemicals found in the water where we swim. Waterborne germs can be found in all sorts of places like swimming pools, hot tubs, water parks, etc. You can get sick if you accidentally swallow water with germs in it, breathe in small water droplets with germs, or if you just come into contact with water that has germs in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Waterborne illnesses can also be caused by chemicals or toxins in water. Examples include fumes from pool disinfection chemicals in the air, or toxins from blue-green algae during harmful algal blooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There are many different types of waterborne illnesses. Waterborne illnesses can affect many parts of the body, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Stomach and intestines<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Skin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Ears<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Lungs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Eyes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Brain and spinal cord<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Wound infections<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><br><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Some waterborne illnesses are much more common than others. The most common symptom of waterborne illnesses is diarrhea. Some germs that can cause diarrhea are Crypto (short for Cryptosporidium), Giardia, Shigella, norovirus, and E. coli.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Who is at risk of getting a waterborne illness?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Anyone who spends time in unclean water can get sick from a waterborne illness. That is why it is important to know how to swim healthy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">While anyone can get sick with a waterborne illness, small children, the elderly, and people with a weakened immune system are more likely to get sick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For illnesses where you need to swallow the germ to become sick:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Children get more waterborne illnesses because they are more likely to swallow the water, and splash and play in the water.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You are more likely to become sick if you allow unclean water to enter your mouth, even if you don&#8217;t swallow the water.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You can also become sick if unclean water gets splashed up your nose or you put your head under water.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Where are these germs coming from?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Most of the germs that cause waterborne illnesses are brought into the water by people with the illness, animals, or wastewater runoff. Some germs, such as the bacteria that cause Legionellosis, naturally live in water and can make you sick when their presence is not managed correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It is extremely important not to swim while you have diarrhea, because you could be the person who brings germs into the pool that can make other people sick. More than one in five American adults do not know that swimming when you are sick with diarrhea can make the whole pool unclean and make other swimmers sick. You don&#8217;t How can we prevent waterborne illnesses?have to have an accident in the pool to make the pool unclean.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">If we work together, we can help prevent others from becoming sick!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you have an accident in the pool or see someone have an accident, tell a lifeguard or staff member right away so that the pool can be cleaned and treated. A single diarrheal accident can put over 10 million Crypto germs into the water, enough germs to make you sick with a single mouthful of pool water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Why doesn&#8217;t chlorine kill all the germs?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9244\" src=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/children-swimming-pool-smiling.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/children-swimming-pool-smiling.jpg 480w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/children-swimming-pool-smiling-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/children-swimming-pool-smiling-465x310.jpg 465w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/>Many people think that chlorinated water is sterile and that all germs that enter the water are killed instantly. However, some germs live for longer periods of time in chlorinated water than others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">While most germs are killed by chlorine in pools within a few minutes, Crypto is very chlorine tolerant and can live up to 11 days in the water. For this reason, Crypto is the number one cause of outbreaks associated with recreational water in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Remember that untreated water bodies, such as lakes and oceans, have no disinfectant in them. Here, germs live longer until they are killed by sunlight or heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">How can we prevent waterborne illnesses?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In recreational water, it is important to remember that chlorine and chemicals do not kill the bacteria and germs instantly, and when sweat and urine exist in the pool, the chlorine does not work as well. To protect everyone near and around the swimming area, swimmers need to be safe in the pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Steps the public can take:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Keep the poop, germs, and pee out of the water.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Don&#8217;t swim when you have diarrhea (and don&#8217;t swim for two weeks after illness if you have Crypto).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Don&#8217;t pee in the pool.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Shower with soap before you start swimming and wash your rear end well!
