How hygienic are public swimming pools really? In BBC Future, @jackieknee.bsky.social discusses waterborne infectious disease outbreaks & the presence of bacteria & #parasites in swimming pools like #cryptosporidium, which is tolerant to chlorine. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Pools are a great way to cool off and get exercise. While the benefits often outweigh the risks, pools have been linked to outbreaks of GI illness. Crypto is a common culprit given how long it can hang out in chlorinated water. Read more below! @lshtm-ehg.bsky.social @lshtmamrcentre.bsky.social
