The primary concern is if someone with diarrhea lets loose in the pool.

Gross. I don’t go there, but I think our local Y has already had this.

There are way too many people that don’t understand or care about basic hygiene.

Disney had to make educational films instructing those in the third world not to take a crap in the fields to prevent illness.

Could be, but it isn’t. This is yet another overblown “threat” used to keep the funding going. There’s generally less than a dozen cases a year, and this year it’s up to 2 dozen. Not quite as unlikely as winning the lottery, but pretty close.

Can this be caught by taking a shower? Just wondering.

There are different CDC recommendations for treating pool water after defecation of formed stool and diarrhea stool in swimming pools. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Very low risk for showers.

It was bound to happen. Bacteria have been around for a long time. they know how to survive. They will survive a few billion years more.

profuse, watery diarrhea This on a day with a story about a man so constipated he had 28 lbs of shiite inside him? He needed to swim in one of these pools for a bit.

Pools can be disinfected from Cryptosporidium with ultraviolet light or ozone filter add-ons. These units are affordable and easy to retrofit.

How can protozoa (that’s a plural word, not that today’s journalists care about grammar) be resistant to chlorine? It must be bad luck that so many sanitation-related diseases are appearing at the same time as we are dealing with large numbers of illegal invaders from the third world.
