Thinking of going swimming this summer?

You might want to think twice...

From the article:
One in five people admitted to peeing in a swimming pool, in a recent poll of Americans.

In fact, the survey conducted by the Water Quality and Health Council found that almost half (47 percent) of the subjects admitted to one or more behaviors that contribute to an unhealthy pool.

Here are some of the survey's other findings:

* About one-third (35 percent) say they don't shower before entering the pool.
* 63 percent were unaware of illnesses associated with swallowing, breathing or having contact with contaminated pool water.
* Less than one quarter consider the frequency of pool cleaning and chemical treatment (23 percent) and even less (16 percent) think about chlorine levels to maintain clean pool water.

So, there you have it....
 
Only really stupid people wouldn't have already guessed that. Life is hazardous to your health. Deal with it or stay home, where there are likely loads of equally dangerous things you can do.
 
I figured everybody peed in pools. Like someone else said, there are germs EVERYWHERE in this world. Get a fucking bubble if you're worried about it.

Exactly. Not that it makes it any less nasty, but at least you probably won't get sick from it.

I keep hearing people say this yet they put backflow prevention devices in home systems in case some animal pees into your in-ground sprinklers which would get into your water supply potentially leading to Hep-C.

So, drink urine with confidence right... ?

Ummm, I thought the backflow devices were to prevent dirt, rainwater, and any other potential contaminants from getting into the water supply. I've never heard anyone say they are there solely to prevent an animal from peeing in your sprinkler.
 
it's cleaner than lake/ocean/river water, which most people don't seem to have any compunctions about swimming in
