naijasexy: For me who swum for about 5 hours yesterday and took in water about thrice, this is quite scary. Great information though. Thanks. Water intake is unavoidable! Its could be so disgusting when it happens! |

It is scary. And in Nigeria where many people are dirty is worse. The swimming pools are scary with people you don't know where they have been and then jumping into the pool with you. I am even afraid to sit on public seats and shaking hands after seeing that 95% of Nigerians don't wash their hands after using the toilet! |

One of the most common illnesses associated with public pools is diarrhea caused by a parasite called Cryptosporidium. Cryptosporidium is found in the intestinal tract of infected humans [/b]and animals and is transmitted through the ingestion of fecal matter. This becomes a problem when the fecal matter is in the form of watery diarrhea, which rapidly dissipates in a large pool of water and becomes virtually invisible, says Ashley Lamonte, MPH (Master of Public Health) with the CDC. A pool may be contaminated, even without a "fecal accident:" [b]trace amounts of bacteria on a person's bottom can be washed into a pool. E. coli is a bacteria that lives in the intestinal tract of healthy humans and animals; one strain of the bacteria, however, is particularly virulent and can cause extreme illness and even death. In 1998, a contaminated home pool caused an outbreak of E. coli that hospitalized eight people and one child died. http://www.angelfire.com/pro2/real.estate/Swimming.Pools.html http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5020a4.htm Just remember that not all adults or most children wash their back passage properly before jumping in the pool . Plus kids with diarrhoea will just let go in the pool and as I do not want to swallow fecal matter (chlorinated or not), count me out of swimming. 1 Like |

U r making swimming in public places more scary now! Well, prevention is better than cure. Na to go look for 3M now o! Make Nairalanders come to my aid o! Make I send banks' details? |

Maybe its better to arrive early and leave before the crowds arrive and since its a ppm issue, the bigger the pool the better. But this is really eye opening. You go to the beach and Fukushima is on your mind, you go to the pool and gross folks turn it to bio hazard. Why should a lady knowingly enter a pool while in her time. That's very selfish and uncaring. |

You guys are bush... There are many pools that also have chemicals that turn a deep blue if anybody urinates in it. That is why Westerners know better than to pee in a pool. You see parents taking their young and running to the nearest loos from the pool. Lack of discipline will not kill us in Naija. |
Re: Beware Of Swimming Pools by doofanc: 7:35am On Jun 16, 2012 |
Zenanted: Me wey dey swim 4 stream wats d advice 4me? a flowing stream may actually be better than some of these stagnant swimming pools, which, based on what we've seen above, are no more than glorified petri dishes. |
Re: Beware Of Swimming Pools by Nobody: 7:46am On Jun 16, 2012 |
I remember the feel of pool water when it gets into my shorts, washing out my bawls and all that so ya...pools...not hygenic. |

You see parents taking their young and running to the nearest loos from the pool. Lack of discipline will not kill us in Naija. Don't be so quick to chastise others. Read the article and the comments very well to see that urine is not the only contaminant being discussed. Mind you, the problem is not peculiar to Nigeria. In fact, the article focused on your so-called "Westerners"' pools. |

marvel10: You guys are bush... There are many pools that also have chemicals that turn a deep blue if anybody urinates in it. That is why Westerners know better than to pee in a pool....I dont know if u're biased towards the ''West'', or just plain blind. Abeg the study mentioned in the original thread post, where was it carried out?? Or maybe the Water Quality and Health Council of the US of A now carries out its research in our ''bush'' swimming pools... No wait, i get it; the 1 in 5 individuals who admitted to peeing in pools in the study must all be ''bush-reared'' nigerians/africans. Yes that must be it. After all, by your statments its very obvious that u cannot, nay, WILL NOT believe that the ''Holy and Sanctified Humans of the West'' also pee in pools. slowpoke. Better go see a shrink and address your insecurities, ewu-awusa. |

nawa o,but i thought they do flush out those pool when the water is in baaad shape. well am an expert swimmer i cant even gulp any water while deeping. but gals in their pee should desist from such act. |

Re: Beware Of Swimming Pools by Coefficient(m): 10:04am On Jun 16, 2012 |
I have never taken a dip before and don't intend doing so. Apart from bleeding women, I remember seeing some dudes back in school then wearing a boxer shorts for almost a week and they go swimming with same. Remembering this gives me a good reason to stay away from pools added to my fear of water. |
