It is summer time and while many are cooling off in the pool or planning time in a water park, government officials have issued a health warning: Communal water may be infected with fecal germs and you need to take precautions.
“The germs that cause recreational water illnesses (RWIs) can be spread when swallowing water that has been contaminated with fecal matter (poop),” said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in a warning on its website.
