Urine and Feces in Public Pools
 
It's Not Chlorine That Turns Your Eyes Red in the Pool: IT'S PEE, And unfortunately, the ickiness doesn’t end there. 
 
The CDC has teamed up with the Water Quality and Health Council and the National Swimming Pool Foundation for their annual Healthy Swimming Program. They’re seeking to educate Americans about the many possible dangers of pools and what you can do to keep your swim as clean and healthy as possible. “We think that swimming is a really fantastic activity,” says Michael J. Beach, Ph.D., associate director of the CDC’s Healthy Water program. “We want to keep it that way.”
 
So what horrifying info would the CDC like to share with you? For starters, it turns out that your red eyes after swimming aren’t coming from an irritation to the chlorine. “It’s quite the opposite,” says Beach. “Chlorine binds with all the things it’s trying to kill from your bodies, and it forms these chemical irritants. That’s what’s stinging your eyes. It’s the chlorine binding to the urine and the sweat.” He gives another example of what can happen to you when chlorine binds to urine and sweat in a pool: that cough you get from an indoor pool. The trapped chemical reaction is what irritates your lungs.
 
And if you think that there are safeguards in pools to shame those sneaky urinators (like dye that's supposed to make pool water change color if someone pees), not so much. “That dye is a complete myth,” says Beach. “It’s about scaring people into not urinating in the pool.”
 
But that’s not all. Beach explains that there’s been an increase in the number of disease outbreaks at public swimming pools, thanks to adults, children, or babies swimming while they have diarrhea. And yes, it’s much more pervasive than it used to be. “We have a new parasitic germ that has emerged that’s immune to chlorine,” says Beach. “We’ve got to keep it out of the pool in the first place. We need additional barriers.”
 
You can’t just blame those diapered toddlers in the shallow end, though. A person doesn’t have to literally defecate in a pool to spread illness—they could just have the germs on their bodies, which is why you’re always encouraged to shower off before you get into a pool. One ailing person might not be enough to do it, but “if you’re talking about thousands of people using the same pool, those germs can really add up,” says Beach.
 
Blessedly, there are ways to help avoid any of this nastiness. Don't go in pools when you’re sick (to protect others) or have open wounds (to protect yourself). Never ever ever pee in a pool. And don’t think that lakes or oceans are any safer. Yes, they can be vast, giving you the impression that your tiny germs will just be washed away. But: “If you’re swimming next to someone who has diarrhea, there’s no protection,” says Beach. In fact, there was recently a large norovirus outbreak at a lake in Oregon, says Beach—and according to a CDC investigation, health experts suspect that the outbreak began when someone infected with the norovirus swam in (and had diarrhea or vomited in) the lake.
 
Keep it clean, and enjoy yourself out there—assuming you are capable of going to a pool ever again after reading this.

Note:
One other thing to note is that the non-Muslims don't wash after using the toilet, they wipe, so their urine and feces (left behind after the wiping) is still on their body and when they go into the pool then it is mixed into the water.

An important reason not to use public pools.

Cigarette Filters Contain Pig’s Blood
 
 
The next time you light up a cigarette you may be puffing on a filter which contains pig’s blood. Recent Dutch research found that pig hemoglobin was being used to make filters of cigarettes more effective in blocking harmful chemicals before they enter the smoker’s lungs.
 
Simon Chapman, a professor at the University of Sydney said that this was one of the 185 industrial uses of a pig that the Dutch research had identified. Chapman was quoted by Australian AAP news agency saying “I think that there would be some particularly devout groups who would find the idea that there were pig products in cigarettes to be very offensive”
 
"The Jewish community certainly takes these matters extremely seriously and the Islamic community certainly do as well, as (so) would many vegetarians. It just puts into hard relief the problem that the tobacco industry is not required to declare the ingredients of cigarettes ... they say 'that's our business' and a trade secret." said Chapman.
 
One cigarette brand in Greece was a confirmed user of Pig Hemoglobin in its production process. Considering that the Jews and Muslims consider the consumption of pork opposed to their core beliefs this new research finding is sure to shake a few feathers.
 
As a smoker of the Jewish or Islamic faith you would like to know if this ingredient is used in processing your cigarette, but tobacco companies do not provide these details. In voluntary disclosures of contents of their products they include “undisclosed processing aids” and these are said to be, “not significantly present in, and do not functionally affect, the finished product"
 
So in effect there is no way for you to know what really goes into the production of your cigarette.
