Three Days After Rain, Beach Water Can Still Make Swimmers Ill, Study Says
From the Los Angeles Times:
“Wait three days after it rains before going into the ocean. It’s a warning that public health officials issued to beachgoers this week, as they do after any significant storm in California.
“But a study released Monday is raising questions about whether that three-day waiting period is enough to protect people who swim, surf and play in the ocean from pathogens in storm runoff that can make them ill.”
