There’s nothing more refreshing than cooling off in the pool on a hot summer day. But as temperatures rise, pools and water parks tend to become more and more crowded with people.

What’s more, someone doesn’t necessarily need to have an accident in the water for others to get sick. Small particles of poop can come off of people’s bodies while swimming, so you may not necessarily even see it in the water. “ chlorine or bromine inactivates or kills germs in properly treated water within minutes,” Kunz said. “However, crypto … can survive for more than seven days.”

This is why it’s best to shower before going into the water and to never pee in the pool. Not only do chloramines form when pee, sweat or makeup combines with chlorine, but this also decreases the amount of chlorine that can get rid of other germs.
