Ocean Water?

Question

my friend is concerned about getting a disease from swimming in ocean/lake water...is that possible?

Answer 1

If your friend has a cut, maybe. Don't worry, just give your friend some of your morphine if that happens.

Answer 2

check your local newspaper for water quality reports. the EPA does them all the time on NJ beaches. Usually after a heavy rain the water quality is lower after water gets flushed out of local streams & lakes into the ocean.

Just take a shower after swimming in the ocean

Answer 3

She can get a disease from anything these days. Actually some hot springs have bigger risks as they have actually found bacteria that enter thru your ears/nose and will eat your brain-not kidding-but if you see signs posted that the water may be contaminated or not safe it would be wise to avoid it otherwise go for it you probally have a greater risk cutting your foot on something below the water than contracting a disease from the water.
