The month of June, the scorching sun. Children’s summer holidays continue. They immerse themselves in fun, craziness and creativity, and there can be no better place than a water park. But wait, did you know that water park water can contain bacteria like E. coli? There is also the possibility that microbes can directly enter the brain and damage it.
According to a report from the Association of Parks and Leisure Industries, more than 30 million people visit water parks every year. Many water parks are very busy. Water park operators are happy to see crowds of people that their income has increased. But he does not think about the damage done to people’s health.
Water Park Can Have A Lot Of Germs
Water parks can also be carriers of microbes such as cryptosporidium. This is a type of parasite found in water parks. This can cause problems such as diarrhea, dehydration, abdominal pain, fever and vomiting. The pool may also contain parasitic amoebae that feed on the brain. These parasites also enter the brain by drinking pool water while bathing or through the nose.
Children At Risk Of Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis symptoms have been observed in several children who visited Silver Storm Water Park at Athirappilli in Thrissur district of Kerala. Subsequently, the park was closed.
Microbiologist Dr. Pooja Sahay explains that leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that is transmitted from animals to humans. The infection is spread through the urine or feces of a rat, squirrel or any other animal in the water park. Sometimes it can even be passed on from person to person.
The bacteria enter the body through open wounds or through the eyes. It can be seen in which organ the infection has occurred. If it affects the kidneys, dialysis may be needed.
Pregnant women should be more careful. Leptospirosis infection negatively affects the development of the fetus.
Chlorine Gas Can Be Dangerous
The water park uses hydrochloric acid and sodium hydrochloride gas, which is harmful to health. Likewise, the amount of chlorine in the pool is also high.
Despite chlorination, it can contain many bacteria and parasites. With hundreds of people in the water, their sweat, sunscreen, skin and hair products, chlorine is no longer effective.
Garbage Found At The Water Park
There is also a careless attitude to hygiene in the water park. They show dirty diapers, food, empty snack bags.
There is also the possibility of leg fungus in the bathroom and changing rooms. They also contain microbes. They are more common in damp, dark places.
Peeing In The Pool Increases The Mess
Along with adults, there are more children in the water park. Children also often urinate in these pools. According to a study in Canada, a 2,20,000-liter swimming pool can hold about 20 liters of urine. The Center for Diseases reports that 58 percent of samples taken from public pools tested positive. That is, e-coli bacteria have been found in water, which can only happen when urine and feces are mixed.
Diapers Don’t Even Work
People take their kids to the water park in swim diapers. But they don’t work the way we think. Diapers or swim pants appear to be safe for pee or stool, but studies have shown they don’t work when there is peeing or slow movement. The water in the swimming pool in which you bathe may be contaminated. It could harm the health of others.
People are sometimes asked to take a shower before entering the pool to prevent contamination from spreading into the pool. Even if it doesn’t have much effect.
