5. Swimming Pools
at public facilities are breeding grounds for parasites like giardia. At swimming pools, people sometimes decide to get in without cleansing their bodies and expose others to germs. Even the bathrooms at the swimming pool can carry diseases like giardia because people don’t practice good hygiene, such as washing their hands using the toilet. They’ll just get in the pool and start touching people, which will cause them to get giardia. When swimming, people are known to swallow the water.
The water is already contaminated and causes giardia. If a person has giardia, it is best to avoid swimming pools until the intestinal infection clears. Giardia can keep spreading if a person keeps going to the pool. Since it can spread easily, a person could possibly infect a number of people while swimming. Even swimming pools at home can be dangerous for contracting giardia if the proper care isn’t taken, such as cleaning the pool often.
