The virus was too much for her?
Flesh eating bacteria is not a virus. So much for editing.
A public hot tub is nothing more than a warm bacteria bath.
And a public pool is a cool bacteria bath.
And a water park is...
As a little kid I never head of flesh eating bacteria. When did this all come about? Is it some lab experiment gone wrong that unleashed it?
So remember that vacationers.
On a cruise ship, I look at the hot tub and those who congregate near it and cringe. Many, many “alternate lifestyle” passengers on cruises. Nothing could make me step a foot in that tub. Nothing.
The hotel I stayed at when I had to evacuate because of hurricane Irma.
A guy I know who is in resort management explained just how nasty those pools and hot tubs get. I won’t get in one for anything.
Logically, it had to be contracted at the Days Inn hot tub ... because the ocean isn’t insured.
Super 8 Hot Tub = Darwin
The only time I’ve ever even used a whirlpool at a hotel, I ran a quart of bleach through it before I used it. I don’t trust hotels to adequately clean. As a nurse, I think it should be a law, that anyone who works in food service, or cleaning involving restrooms, should have to learn a little microbiology. They should also learn how to properly wash their hands. The best way to get the hand washing point across, is to use a product that shows how much bacteria is left on the hands after the person thinks they have done a good job of washing their hands. And for those of you who may need a little microbiologist lesson., remember that when you use a public restroom, 1)Assume every surface you touch is contaminated (because it IS), 2)When you wash your hands, DO NOT touch the paper towel dispenser lever, the door knob, OR the faucet with your hands after you wash them. Always use a paper towel or tissue to work the lever on the paper towel dispenser, touch the door knob, or turn off the water, because it’s almost guaranteed that the people who used those items before you, turned on the faucet with their dirty hands, washed their hands (probably inadequately), then used their (maybe) “clean” hands to turn off the faucet, which still has on it whatever was on their hands when they turned it ON, thereby re-contaminating their hands, plus the paper towel lever and the door knob, when they’re finished.
Good hand washing is the number one way to prevent the spread of disease. The good news is, our immune system, if it’s working properly, is able to fend off a good many exposures to bacteria that are commonly found in our general own environment. The bad news is, that the flu, and other viral diseases, mutate frequently, so our immune systems don’t “know” them well enough to have formed antibodies against them. And don’t get me started on grocery cart handles. They’re a giant YUK!
(And no, I’m not a “clean freak”. I’m a lousy housekeeper, though I’m very careful with food handling, but it’s my dirt, so I’m immune to it.) 8^)
