Health officials issued a swim advisory on Thursday after tests flagged the concerning contamination levels.
Holidaymakers have been warned to avoid two Miami beaches after water samples found excessive amounts of faeces. Florida Health Department officials issued a swim advisory last Thursday after tests flagged the contamination levels.
The Health Department officials said that contact with the water on either beach could "pose an increased risk of illness, particularly for susceptible individuals”. In the case of a public pool, faecal matter germs can be killed with chlorine, but killing 100% of them is tricky, the CDC says. Some germs, like the cryptosporidium parasite, which can cause the diarrheal disease cryptosporidiosis, can even survive in properly maintained pools for days.
