E. coli Pool Dangers
The E. coli bacteria can cause FATAL problems for kids and this bacteria can be found in fecal matter. The pool water can become contaminated and small children can ingest the bacteria if they get water in their mouths. Parents or babysitters *must* resist the temptation to sneak a baby in diapers into a public pool - and, diapers should never be changed in or near a pool. Make sure to ask young children frequently if they need to visit Mr. Potty, and although this is almost impossible, kids should be taught to never swallow pool water. One other safety precaution is to keep anyone who has had diarrhea in the previous two weeks out of the water.
