The long-awaited summer season requires greater attention to health care. High temperatures take you to vacation destinations, sea or mountain.
But there are those who choose frequent swimming pools. The fact is that this does not come without health consequences.
If you are a frequenter of swimming pools or water parks, you should consider the importance of protecting your health by preventing infections.
Despite the fact that most people believe that chlorine is a very good disinfectant for bacteria and manages to protect us from contact with them, we assure you that chlorine does not manage to eradicate all the bacteria found in pool water.
There are bacteria today that are very tolerant to chlorine, which cause serious infections to the human body. One of these bacteria is also found in swimming pools. Ingestion of a very small amount of pool water containing these bacteria in certain people causes serious infectious diseases.
Waterborne bacteria are spread by swallowing water, as well as having contact with contaminated water; such as water in swimming pools, lakes or rivers, as well as water playgrounds or fountains.
Water bacteria cause a number of problems in the human body, such as gastrointestinal diseases, skin diseases, ear diseases, breathing problems, eyes, neurological problems, etc.
The most frequent cases present with diarrhea. Diarrhea is caused by the bacteria Cryptosporidium, giardia lambia or e-coli.
All people who swim regularly or those who frequent swimming pools on summer days should consider being careful, as they have a major role in preventing the spread of bacteria.
