How much pee is in your local swimming pool? Study finds out

To anyone who thinks swimming outdoors is any better, I have two words for you: goose shit.

(Yes, I routinely swim in Lake Washington, here in Seattle, despite bird crap, sewage overflow, storm runoff, and various and sundry bacteria and whatnot.)

No way! The ocean is full of fish pee. :wink:

Although, now that I think about it, I find myself compelled to seriously consider whether it is worse to swim in fish pee or human pee. Hmmmm… It might be time to step away from the BBS for a bit.

I’ll do you one better: Naegleria fowleri , the 100% fatal, brain-eating amoeba that you get from swimming in warm ponds.

And what about Indians of today, who persist in the religious practice of bathing in the holy Ganges: a river that is choked with garbage, sewage, and rotting human funerary remains.
