Can One Got Infected In A Pond/pool by desperatem(m): 11:31pm On Mar 29, 2012 |
I use to swim in a pond before, the pond gets its water from a river about 10 kilometer away. Initially i didn't want to swim in the pond because people swim, do laundry and do dirty things in the river which the pond got its water from, but some elderly women said the water will be as clean as new before it got to the pond, they said it a nature. That was year 2000. About 7 years ago i started seeing some symptom but i never knew what it was. I spit frequently, get irritated with any dirty things, if i a poo i won't eat throughout that day, i hate seeing someone that has a big wound (alms beggers) i hate seeing slowpoke, i have acnes on my face, something vibrates in my body (it doesn't move) i am slim compared to my kid days, i had mouth odor but it has gone automatically, my hair is not growing longer its barely 1 inch since 8 month ago. I have never Were Intimate when i started seeing the symptoms cos i was 14-yr-old then. I am still infected till now though no more mouth odour since the past 3 yrs. Please help my life. I want to be free, this thing is depriving me of my youthful days cos i am just 22 |

If the pool or pond is dirty or not properly cleaned then yes you can get infected. _______________________________ eye drops |

Yes you can get an infection from a pond, you can even get them from swimming pools. |

@Op your symptoms probably have NOTHING to do with the pond/river. mouth odor, spit, acne, hair growth?! come on bro, you make no damn sense! |

Well, i asked the question cos i don't know how i got infected. I was trying to figure out the cause of the symptoms so i remembered the days of swimming in dirty pond when i was 13/14. I am sorry if i am not making sense, i am just trying to know what's wrong so i can know what to treat |
