same problem at barcelona. They had to do major cleanup for the sailing venue. The initial boats had poop all over them. like the raritan bay in the 80’s The nice name is fecal chloroform.

Swim in fecal water...ingest fecal bacteria. Note to self: cancel “swimming” vacation to Brazil.

Why did more Americans get sick? Simple as we have the cleanest lakes, rivers and oceans in the world. So, US athletes have not been exposed to all of the germs other country’s athletes have been exposed to. Those foreign athletes have built up natural immunities due to their exposure.

That’s why I think we see more food allergies and kids getting sick these days. Parents don’t let their kids get enough exposure to germs, they make them live in virtual plastic bubbles. So the immune systems never fully develop.

Trash is flammable. Your MLB team is on fire these days, eh?

LOL! Actually, I hail from MN, so even the twinkies are a bit behind. :-) But my wife supports the local team. SUCKER! :-)
