If No One Swims In Your Toilet, Why Should You Pee In Public Swimming Pool!
Most public swimming pools are said to be insalubrious for the excessive use of chemicals and very bizarre habits by swimmers. For those that have an habit of peeing in a swimming pool have a role in making a swimming pool unhygienic need to know that when uric acid found in urine gets into contact with chlorine a toxic chemical called cyanogen chloride is produced. Urine in swimming pools is more common and problematic than you might think of. It was found common in swimming pools that a report from the Centers for Disease Control said that it's the urine in the water that makes your eyes turn red, not chlorine.
Cyanogen chloride is just like a tear gas and has been classified as an agent of chemical warfare. For those that have held a demonstration and have been tear gassed know what am talking about. The chemical can bring irritation to the eyes, nose and lungs and when produced in large amount can result to vomiting, loss of consciousness, convulsions, paralysis and death.
But before you start to panic, its not possible to cause this since for a pool to be deadly 2,500 and more parts per billion of cyanogen chloride would need to be produced for such a catastrophe to happen. This is however impossible to create.
Maybe what you need to worry about is E-Coli, this is a bacterium that lives in human digestive tract and can be found in ones feces. the bacterium can cause vomiting, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever and fatigue. The only good news about its prevention is that you can naturally protect yourself from E-Coli infection by consuming garlic.
Next time you get into a swimming pool consider the likelihood of other things that could actually kill you or at least make you sick which are; Drowning, your pool-mates killing you for peeing in the pool, fecal coli-form bacteria (I know you must be wondering how feces can get to are pool, but think of kids wearing diapers in the pool, enough said)
