Report highlights danger of splash pads for waterborne diseases

A study today in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report that probed waterborne pathogen illnesses linked to splash pads in the United States since 1997 found that while chlorine is an important disinfecting agent, it does not eliminate Cryptosporidium, which is the most common cause of waterborne disease outbreaks associated with the playgrounds.

Years ago when I was in public health, this was a real problem, and not just due to humans. We learned that deer caused issues on splash pads at night...When the splash pad was activated the next day. Voila! Aerosolized deer poop...Not kidding.

Needless to say, you can figure out why I've avoided public pools too.
